Zen Buddhism is an atheist religion.
No creator God, no messiah, no religious text to study, no dos and donts in your daily routine.
If you’re a Zen Buddhist and want to believe in Jesus, that’s fine too.
It makes no difference whether you live in the US, Canada, wherever.
Agreed, legally atheism is a religion per SCOTUS, and hits all the definitions of a religious belief.
Yeah, you’re right.
More accurately a non theistic religion.
It can also be a theistic religion, where you’re free to worship Buddha, Jesus, ancestors, stone in your backyard…
That’s Zen for you.
