Hmm... That's a good question...
I have a hard time comparing the Eastern "religions" like Taoism or Buddhism to the average Western religion. The Eastern religions are more about self-control and finding meaning within yourself while Western religions are about looking up to some deity and obeying its orders. I remember Einstein saying something like Buddhism was the one religion in agreement with science. I'll look it up...
" ?If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.?
