Exactly, dear idiot. Atheism is the absence of belief in a higher being. Buddha, or Siddharta Gautama, is no higher being, but an unusally enlightened human being.
Jokes on you, genius.

You can be a Buddhist atheist, there are no higher powers in Buddhism, just transcendence and the cycle, I think it's called dharma.

Fair enough, but isn't reincarnation supernatural in and of itself? How is it more reasonable to believe in a supernatural occurrence than it is to believe in a supernatural being? I'm just saying that

i believe i used the term "religious figure." not once did i use the word "god." if you're going to nitpick, at least make sure you have your shit straight.

So you're just stating the obvious for no fucking reason?
