The Buddha said: "They made a Pope-on-a-rope soap? Hey, that's okay!"
But seriously.... Buddhism (like Hinduism) teaches that ALL worship is worthy. If you respect creation, it doesn't much matter who you say "thank-you" to, so long as you are earnest...

If you are asking us, you are not buddhist, in thought.
Buddhism is about being who you are, on your own terms. You know if it's "right or wrong" for you, not for us.
Even if a person, somehow, despises Buddhism, he is practicing Buddhist thought. Understand?

No, not at all! Buddha himself said that if something agrees with your sense of reason and is good for humanity, then you are obligated to do it...

No.
Buddhists can do whatever they want, and can learn and experience anything they want.
Unlike other religions, buddhism's strength is in its constant search for knowledge and understanding.

"You can still be Buddhist. YOu just won't be a very good one."
Obviously you have no idea what buddhism is.

Not really.
It doesn't matter what esle you do. You don't have to do anything, or you can do everything you want. You can still be Buddhist. YOu just won't be a very good one. But if your Church doesn't do anything bad to the world, and you still live by principles of compassion, then you are doing it right.
Buddhism is a way of life, no dogmas attached.
