that was sarcasm right?

Well, to be honest, not every buddhist would agree. That was very simplified.
Buddhists do not believe in God as a sole creator. Evolution is accepted as origin of life by many buddhists...so, i saw it fitted to label it as Atheism with spirituality..perhaos thats an oxymoron...hmm.
Anyway, in this instance i labeled Atheism as the lack of belief in sole creator 😄

I know what you mean. My understanding of God is a choice I have made. I do not believe in a god separate from me, I am a part of God, but I see how you can make the other choice and say there is no God. In the end, it does not matter. Talking about God does not lead to enlightenment. 😄
Wicca is a recently created, Neopagan religion. Many Wiccans see their religion as a modern reconstruction of ancient Northern European Pagan beliefs such as the Celts and Druids. Depending on ones beliefs wicca can be viewed as monotheistic recognizing a single supreme being, "The One", duotheistic where they may recognize a female god and goddess the Lady and the Lord, polytheistic in which they recognize the existence of many gods and goddesses, or atheist where they do not recognize living entities but symbols rather than a god or goddess. Wicca is not affiliated with Satanic beliefs. Wiccans do not recognize the existence of an all evil anti God. Wicca can be called an earth based religion in that they practice rituals to attune themselves with nature and the phases of the moon as it passes between the sun and earth. Wiccans seek to live in harmony with nature.
Many Wiccans adhere to the Three Fold Law which is also known as the Law of Cause and Effect which states in life what we reap we sow what is done shall be returned back three fold.
The Wiccan Pentacle is thought to be one of the most important symbols of the religion. It is an ancient symbol bearing much importance to both the East and the West. The pentacle is a five pointed star which clearly defines our place in the universe and life. When the image is drawn or written it is called a pentagram. Many witches and wiccans will wear this on their jewelry or clothing the way many Christians will wear a cross. Traditionally each of the five metaphysical elements of the ancients: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Spirit. The Circle often drawn around it represents Divine Wisdom given to the wearer. It is recognized throughout the world. In the Jewish tradition for instance, it symbolizes the five books of Moses.
