Because Buddhism isn't oppressive. Simple really. Another reason is that Buddhism has no God concept.

Buddhism basically teaches that there are many paths to enlightenment. That path could be by being totally good or by being totally evil. When you have such a concept, what is there to argue about? Everyone will achieve enlightement.
Y'all can do your own thing.

Christianity, on the other hand, has set rules for achieving salvation. The disagreement comes in when different people have widely disparate understandings of just what the Bible says. Also, there has been a huge influx of pagan beliefs that have been accepted into the christian religion, so much so that it is not the religion of Christ and the Apostles anymore.
In acutallity, Judaism is closer to their religion.

Sure: Logically, there is no evidence what so ever to support the idea of a God. If I tell you that a pink unicorn created the universe, wouldn't you want to know about the evidence? But I claim that the unicorn is omnipotent, omnipresent, beyond time and space, and non corporal. If you can not prove me wrong, using your logic, the unicorn really did create the universe. Isn't it amazing how the omnipresent, all powerful and invisible looks so much like the nonexistent? The logic of the matter is simple. There is no logic at all in your position. All arguments for the existence of God are based on fallacies.

Christianity, here, is the Majority. Most Christians don't know much about other religions, philosophies or concepts. I think some believe it's a sin to even reap up on what others believe. Most of the people I know were taught that anything but Christianity is Satanic and should be avoided completely.

Buddhism is well represented here by people like vinslave. While Christianity has far too many like the answerer above who seems to think that Buddhism has gods.

Most of the arguing here is between theists and atheists.
Neither of these groups are interested in arguing with a group that has no god to argue about, now why would they?
We might have a mild disagreement about why it's OK to let kids starve while food on the hoof passes their homes daily...or is that Hindus? I never can keep them straight. That's because, I guess, I live in the United States, where Ronald McDonald is a sacred icon. (sarcasm).....
Hey, I do yoga exercises, and I eat lots of salad, does that count?

No Buddhists condemn people to Hell.
No Buddhists say that their way is the only truth.
No Buddhists try to convert everyone.
No Buddhists attempt to change the laws to reflect their religion.
No Buddhist insists that everyone else live by their beliefs while no doing so themselves.

Should I go on?

The way of the will is not so far, but if one waffs on the wiffs of inconsquential dilemnas....where was I?

because we're in the west and most buddhists are in the east. there's two types, so there had to be a disagreement along the line somewhere. I just have problems with it in general.
