I havn't read the whole thread yet so I don't know if someone has brought this up yet, but...
I'm not going to go indepth here, but a quick google search brought up this creed "The Universe was evolved, not created; and it functions according to law, not according to the caprice of any God." I'd say that would conflict with christianity...
Buddhism, like all the other major religions (as far as I know) has broken into many different types, some "buddhists" worship him as a god, when he specifically said not to for instance.
But I do agree with you that (IMO) true buddhism is not a religion, though it would still conflict with worshipping in other religions. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how there could be a buddhist christian or whatever without having conflicts.
