Many Buddhist texts are full of supernatural claims about afterlife, the worlds of demons and devas, about prayers opening the earth to see flowers giving you the text of Buddha, that sort of things.

Thinking Buddhism focuses on the philosophical parts is like cherry-picking Proverbs from the bible.

Buddhism also has its own nonsensical cosmology [1]. We just don't care too much about it in the West.

I meant the accounts of what Buddha himself taught seem to steer clear of God. eg in the article:

>when asked abstract metaphysical questions, such as whether the world is eternal, whether the soul is different from the body, or what happens to a liberated person (tathāgata) after death and so on, Gotama stays silent, or points out that he has set these subjects aside

he seems to stick to the observable basics. Though as mentioned, of course people may have tacked stuff on subsequently.

The torah as commonly translated does, but there is an interesting work from a physicist that brings a very atheistic/geometric translation of the torah to light that has been blowing my mind.
