The New Buddhism


I'm back! Finally. I've been looking around the internet about religion because I've been considering getting involved in a religion I actually believe in, instead of letting my family choose for me. So, I looked up Buddhism. I found that a shocking number of people are practicing Buddhist customs, but do not believe in a higher being. They fast and perform other self-denying practices to experience enlightenment and Nirvana. I also saw it referred to as "Atheibuddhism" (a combination of Atheism and Buddhism). I don't know a lot about the subject so if anyone else has information for me, please tell!
