Buddhism is the fourth-largest religion in the world and is comprised of a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices based on original teachings of Siddhartha Gautama. Two major branches of Buddhism are Theravada and Mahayana. The goal of Buddhism is to overcome suffering by recognizing the true (illusory) nature of reality, ending the supposed cycle of death and rebirth.
While every religion makes claims about being unique and having history behind them, the historical evidence for Christianity stands out. Compare the historicity of a number of world religions with Christianity, and it becomes evident that there's a significant difference.
