Because they seem to be the minority in this forum. Agree?

Your statement is agreeable but the reason for it is not right.
Buddhism is most spiritual because teaches moral discipline as well as the spirituality of seeking to realize the Inner Nature within all sentient beings. Others help in the spiritual aspects badly and then poorly on moral issues. Buddhism teaches self-realization, others seeks dependent on a higher being, such as God.

Buddhism is a different kind of religion. It is more akin to a philosophy. One can adopt a Buddhist frame of mind and continue participating in the cultural elements of other religions (although some of the more conservative members of those sects may take a different view of a Buddhist's participation).
Buddhism focuses foremost on a person's thinking and perception of themselves and the world. There is no sin, only behavior that is useful or non-useful. There is no external judgment, only growth toward awakening or continued suffering. There is no need for God because God cannot do anything for you.
Instead, Buddhism teaches an 8-fold path that you can follow as much as you like, and you are encouraged to explore it to see if it works for you. Briefly, the 8-fold path is
1. Right view
2. Right intention
3. Right speech
4. Right action
5. Right livelihood
6. Right effort
7. Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration

What does "most spiritual" mean?
How would we know who was a minority?
How can we agree?
Sorry, I know you're the one supposed to be asking the questions, but sometimes a question is the answer to a question.

Perhaps Buddhists have the least questions, or the least answers, or tend not to own computers. Nobody can be judged for their spirituality based on being or not being on this site.

God introduced himself in many ways and names (ie. Allah, Yaweh, the Father, etc.). One of those is the name Lord Buddha (The God of Buddhism).

No, it's just that they are still trying to figure out what to do once they finish up the eight fold path of enlightenment.
Now what?

Nope, they can see you arguing and know there is no wisdom to be gained from listening to you.

They probably can't be bothered to start arguements on here.
