Buddhism in my opinion is a form of atheism , due to the reason that people believe it as an ideology. But slowly it became a religion when people believed in more detail values like Nirvana, and Rebirth. I think buddhism is quite borderline though between a religion and a spiritual belief.

Any buddhist wanna share?

It's a form of atheism if we define Atheism as a belief in a Creator God because buddhists don't believe in that.

But it's not totally atheistic because buddhists believe in higher beings other than humans in another planes of existence (dimensions).

However, these beings have no bearing on us humans , so they are quite irrelevant in personal pursuit of happiness. So it's quite an atheist religion if you ask me.

Actually why limit to atheism and theism ? there are people in the world that cannot be bothered with either one of this.
