Sometimes, the can of worms can be avoided simply by not stating things in such broad and absolute terms. For example, a statement such as
"some forms of Buddhism might be considered more of a philosophy than a religion and might be compatable with the beliefs of some who consider themselves Christian,"
comes across quite differently from "Buddhism isn't a religion, it's a faith practice and doesn't go against christianity."
Otherwise, you can expect some Buddhists, such as Valkyrie, RU OX Alum and (I think) KSig RC, to take issue with the absolute and fairly easy to refute generalization that "Buddhism isn't a religion."
And again, what's the difference between a "religion" and a "faith practice"?
