I used to be Christian. I became an Atheist and since a couple of years I got into Buddhism.
I do see how certain aspects of Christianity can help people cope with life the same way Buddhism does.
- The idea of unconditional love. Most people feel that being loved has to be earned. Well you don't have to be anything just serve God and/or be kind.
- Letting go of control. Life has up and downs. In Buddhism resisting against pain is what causes suffering. In Christianity everything is according to Gods plan. Don't worry.
There are also differences though. For example, Christianity gives you a simple answer for the meaning of life, so you can stop looking. Buddhism asks why are you looking in the first place.
