Buddhism isn;t considered a religion as far as I know. I've started getting into buddism because of it spiritual spectre. Taking care of YOUR mental mental health is far more important that worshipping something that you've never saw, but hey... you believe.

I've started practising meditation since mroe tha a year now and I can tell you that it really does help. I'm calm, rarely get upset or blow up (i used to be a bomb just waiting to explode, everything could easly set me of), relaxed and the way you think kind of changes. Also, buddhists don't worship any god, you're worshiping yourself (I'd love to suggest you Koi Fresco on this subject too https://www.youtube.com/user/koiscorner), so don't call it a  religion.
