Anyway, in case you want to learn anything about something "far from our civilization" (as if everyone on this site was in the western world...), there are many kinds of Buddhism, and many of them are atheistic (which makes sense, seeing as the Buddha himself denied the existence of any creator Gods: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_in_Buddhism )
