i cant' remember the example fully but there is this question about reality that budhist think about it kind of goes something like this.
They'll ask a question
For example
what is a chair?
and then they break the chair up into different components like the chair's leg, or the arm of the chair, if you take apart the chair is it still a chair. The whole point of this exercise is to figure out abosolute truths, i guess what they are trying to prove is that the chair in whatever form is pointless and therefore you should not worry about it. You can also do the same thing with the human body. For example if you rip your arm off is it still your arm so on and so on. This is probably one of the more fascinating religions to me.
At my high school there is a whole course that is dedicated to teaching about other religions, we learned about budhism, judaism, muslim religion, hinduism and did a little bit on catholocism. He also went on a work shop field trip where people from these religions talked to us about thier religion, they didn't try to convert us or anything which was good, we were allowed to ask them questions about their religion, we even got to eat religious foods, that was my favorite part of the day
Another interesting thing about religion is that a lot of them have things in common, for example in hinduism a while back there was this system called the caste system, basically its a ranking system, the higher up you were in the system meant that you were a better/ more divine person and the gods favoured you more. We see this type of thing in calvinism aswell (Its a branch of catholocism) in calvinism the whole idea is that God will bless those who are good, so the better person you are the wealthier you will be and so .... basically the interestng thing is that these two types of beliefs happened centuries apart, and also some people consider calvinism to be a very very early stage of capitalism.
So as you can see even if you don't believe in any religion it has affected your life either way.
