I liked the take of my old teacher, the wonderful maverick Nishijima Roshi. He said that Buddhism wasn't a religion but a sort of direct and practical humanist philosophy. He saw potential for Buddhism going this direction in its new encounter with the west. I think when people examine their own humanity and find no spirit, no god, nor any dazzling Buddha for that matter, but just our own remarkable ineffable existence, we will no longer need religion nor spirituality, and will grow up somewhat as a species. Best Regards, Harry
