Nothing to do with rich or poor but choice, peasants usually choose to be Taoists and hold under void deck with Ching Chang Chong and Hao Lang Bins! Become Christian or Atheist then won't be Ching Chang Chong and Hao Lang Bins.
Old fart was agnostic. But if he had to choose a religion, I'd bet on Buddhism.
Of the great religions of history I prefer Buddhism, especially in its earliest forms, because it has had the smallest element of persecution. Buddhism is a combination of both speculative and scientific philosophy. It advocates the Scientific Method and pursues that to a finality that may be called Rationalistic. In it are to be found answers to such question of interest as "What is mind and matter? Of them which is of great importance? Is the universe moving towards a goal?
What is man's position? Is there living that is noble?" It takes up where science cannot lead because of the limitations of the latter's instruments. Its conquests are those of the mind. I cannot myself feel that either in the matter of wisdom or in the matter of virtue Christ stands quite as high as some people known to history. I think I should put Buddha and Socrates above him in those respects.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) British Mathematician, Philosopher,
Author and Social Critic,
Christ cannot save anyone. Just like Krishna Buddha Muhammad. They are mere mortals.
But they were messengers who came with the same message. That God is One. Not three in one or three hundred million in one.
They aren't God nor did they ever profess to be.
