I'm Atheist, but I think this comparison is interesting. There is true love here and also the feigning of love.
Buddhism-
-Buddha (not saviour, or god) reached spiritual enlightenment and ultimate empathy with others. Spreads teachings similar to Jesus.
-Afterlife gives people second chances, in fact infinite chances, to reach spiritual enlightenment.
-People of all religions can reach enlightenment, there is no hell.
Christianity-
-Jesus (son of God, and in some sects, God) taught rules similar to Buddha in love thy naighbor
-Afterlife, hell for non-believers, no second chance, only true way to reach heaven is through one religion.
-Deeds do not matter, only religion
Now what do you think of that comparison, what do you think is more loving and accepting? Even as an Atheist I say the deeds of one religion is more open than the other.
