Atheists: How many of you....?

Nope. Found Buddhism a waste of time, too.

these statements were nothing more than Gandhi's opinion, that isnt to say it is incorrect, but an opinion nonetheless. Buddhism teaches you to reach an enlightened state of mind through whichever means you choose, whether thats martial arts, meditation or whatever, its personal.

EDIT: this is also emphasized on the point that Buddhism only has God(s) if you choose it to. some believe Buddha was a God, some a reincarnation of Krishna, and some just believe he was an enlightened being. Buddhism does not have a strict set of beliefs or principles, it is a method of reaching an enlightened state of mind and body

well if you want to call truth God I'm fine, its parallel to Einsteins belief, if you want to call the energy of the universe God that's perfectly fine, but that does not mean there is an intelligent creator, just an all powerful natural force.

Its a very different thing than saying God is truth, which implies that all the associated teachings of God/ Religion is fundamentally true, which I disagree with.

1. No disagree. Our attachments to other people make us compassionate individuals.

2. No, disagree, there is no god.

3. Actually, the belief in deities is the opposite of truth.

Why not simply call it Truth instead of God.. makes the word "god" rather meaningless.

I think this seems rather like the typical theology semantic game playing with "God". Theologians don't care what God the real sciences gives them, as long as they give them a God at all

No I wouldn't agree with any of those. Just because you search for truth doesn't HAVE to make it 'god'. Being as atheists don't believe in god, then how could it be? Truth to me lies in fact and things I can see, touch, hear, taste, smell etc

Did Gandhi posthumously convert to Buddhism?

as a pagan atheist, i do have a little buddhist in me, cos paganism and budism are kinda similar in philosophy of nature and life

there are a LOT parts of budhist philosophy i dont think match who i am, at all, and a few litle bits that do

erm, no, i dont believe in any god, so i dotn agree with that

i think truth is important, but its not god, its just a fact of existence

Perhaps I agree a little bit with the last one.

But only a bit.

Otherwise, no.

Those aren't Buddhistic quotes... The denial of self/ego makes sense to me though.
