If you understand the term religion, then Buddhism is not a
religion.
Definition of a religion is the worshipping or praying to
god.
Someone asked the Buddha once if he is a god, demi-god, or a human
being.
He answered he is not a god, nor a demi-god or a human being.
He is a Buddha, Fully Enlightened, Arhat, Teacher of God and
Men.
Human is a sanskrit word, meaning emotions / feelings.
When he attained Buddhahood, he as eradicated desires, cravings and
ignorances, the causes of continual existences, thus does not
subject to rebirth and a being again. This is his last
rebirth.
Go read up on Buddhism and you will know what I am saying.
Speaking from experiences, I compared Buddhism with other major
religions, and all except Buddhism, all taught abt an almighty god
being, created the world, humans, animals and the cosmos, which I
am disillusioned with, because, they do not have the answers of
life. Science and technology reveals more than god revealed to us
anyway.
I do not deny the existence of god, but they are just like us,
subject to the vissisitudes of life, birth, death.
