Yeah, I just realized I put "religion" as opposed to "philosophy" when speaking about the Buddhists

But I think the idea holds true. Since they don't worship any deity, are they going to suffer the same consequences as atheists and agnostics, especially if the aforementioned lead a wholesome life?

That's the thing about religion that irks me... it just reeks of man, and that's personally why I chose to be agnostic, or at least something other than what man has defined over the years.

[edit]

To explain further.. all the restrictions and rules that are defined in most religions are things that MAN is concerned about, not something a GOD would be concerned about.
