Am a Buddhist, I think.
But have the utmost respect for those who've gone beyond religion, by realising themselves - leaving 'the raft' behind them.
I think I'll always venerate the Buddha as 'The Teacher of Gods & Men', though...
Edit:
But the 'interpretation' of that epithet, may well be open to change / 'development'... :-)

Not sure i would call myself a Buddhist but must say that the philosophy makes more sense to me than most other options.

After starting Zen meditation a few months later I fell into the void so I must give credit. However I claim no religion as everyone is the truth.

Whilst, as my profile says, I am more comfortable with the principles of Buddhism than any other spiritual pathway, and I love His Holiness, the Dalai Lama to bits, I am rather more of a 'fellow-traveller' to that belief system.
I am a spiritual and secular anarchist.
In the semantic and literal sense, I do not believe that we humans need to be organised in any of our activities. The general concensus that this condition would lead to a total breakdown in society and eventual chaos is testament to the extent to which we have been brain-washed by those who presume to have us believe that we 'chose' them to lead us.
This applies equally to both religion and secular affairs.
Thus I neither have, nor need, any 'religion', but I will support to the fullest extent the rights of every single individual on the planet to believe exactly whatever they wish. :-)))

Gnostic (Ebionite-Nazirene). While I am not Buddhist I can say I respect Buddhism to the fullest and I respect and honor what Buddha accomplished and sought to do for his people whom were ensnared in the illusion.

Atheist with amdiration for Spiritualism...
Zen Buddhism happens to be my favourite religion with its ideology based upon '3 noble truths' rather than a complicated book of metaphors. I have much respect for Buddhism.

i guess you can call me a non-denominational spiritualist
who sees value and truth in all of the religions and belief systems
but thinks that proclaiming to belong to one causes separation and ultimately can do more harm than good
imagine?
i have great love for the Gautama Buddha

What about our old religion of 12 Gods and Goddesses? A mythology of course, but far better than the Jewish - Christian one, and more close to our Hindoeuropean common origins...
