Buddhism vs Agnosticism, which is the hip religion of the moment?

I've been arguing with my Agnostic hipster friend about this. Generally on hipster matters, I trust her judgment but this one area we can not agree on. She still says that Buddhism is the hipster religion of choice.





I think she's just trying (futilely) to distance herself from the hipster crowd.





Do you agree with me? Isn't Buddhism kinda Spring of 2008?|||JESUS SAVES SO NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!!!!!!!!!|||Neither is a religion, depending on your POV. Buddhism can double as a philosophy. Agnosticism... actually I don't even think they exist without being either theist or atheist also, since agnostic simply means "not positive" basically, and you either do or don't believe in something right? I would assume that if you weren't sure, that would mean you don't believe... or else if you were sure you'd be a believer. I think we are all a little agnostic--well, for the most part.|||i'd don't know which is more hip BUT : buddhism is still just another mysogynistic, ritual based, money grubbing religion....not much historical warfare - kinda makes it cool to us who see christs generals romping all over the world - but when sharon stone and richard gere are the hollywood advocates you just kinda feel like scientology is creeping up at you...for a real scare look into " happy science " - a class act buddhist cult from japan..|||i think you're both idiots for trying to fashion religion. You two are the opposite of what Buddhism and Agnosticism stand for. Why don't you argue about designer purses or something and leave the substantial arguments to people who can think past what's hip or cool?|||I don't know. Buddhism was big in the 60's, but it seems to be less popular these days. I find that religions tend to become less popular the more people get to know about them.





At one time, Haitian vooddo was believed to be the truth by certain crackpots-maybe it still is. On the other hand, some people still believe that the world is flat.|||Buddhism is kinda like not spring of 2008. Besides neither are religions so your question fails. BUDDHISM ALL THE WAY!|||Agnosticism is not a religion and we Buddhists are basically atheist in philosophy.





It's dependent upon the individual's use of anything as to what makes it what it is, so if someone's going to consider it "hip" then that's what they'll make of it.





_()_|||No worries, be happy.|||I'm from Los Angeles where the hipster thing for years is Buddhism, so I guess Agnosticism is the only option. However, Agnosticism is not a religion so I guess it's really a trick question.|||Personally, I believe Catholicism has the better views on things. But apparently, Jesus was so last century.





I'd go for Buddhism. It actually has similiar teaching Christianity does.|||It would have to be Buddhism, simply because Agnosticism is not a religion.|||it shouldn't matter if a religion is "hip" or not. it should matter where you are going to spend eternity.|||It's now rad to be a hardcore beer drinking cross clutching eastern orthodox christians in the US, follow suit!|||Maybe you should discuss with your friend how you both got to be so shallow.|||No its 6th Century BC|||Get with the times... secular humanism's where it's at.|||Wow. You're priorities in life are that of a crack-smoking mom.|||Is being hip still 'hip'?
