Bhuddism

Buddhists believe that there is no god. They don't worship Buddah, they pay respect to him. They also believe in reicarnation. They believe that when somebody dies it isn't the end of their life but another step in their life. They don't usually pray because they don't have a god, but they do have prayer wheels or flags that are supposed to send off good thoughts. They also meditate. Meditation is supposed to help reach enlightenment. It involves deep concentration which takes years to master. To help them concetrate they stare at an object or say the same word over and over again.

Everyone believes in something whether you bielive in one god or many gods or even no god. Before today I knew nothing about Shintoism. Shintoism is a religion that is only in Japan. It believes that a little bit of their god is in everything, like rocks and trees and animals and thing like that.
