How Buddhism Differs from Other Religions? Buddhism is the most famous non-theistic religion for many reasons, one being tolerant of other people’s beliefs.

beyond what I already knew or didn’t know about religion, people’s sexual orientation and disabilities. From my personal experience and knowledge of other religions I was not expecting to see some that I have never even heard of before, or how much a person’s sexual orientation can have impacts on their lives.
