I would suppose that my #1 reason would be the fact that early Buddhism revolves around things to be personally known in the here & now, and not the blind, faith-based dogmatic beliefs characteristic of many other religions.I ask because I am trying to figure out what keeps followers of religions satisfied with their religion.

The diversity of praxis and thought in Hinduism ( and sister worldviews) that seeks to create space for everybody in every period of history is what I like about it. The transition from medieval era to modernity has been extremely peaceful in India when compared with Europe, China or Middle East ( where the violence still continues). I believe Hinduism is a major contributing cause for this. India remains a continuous culture from at least 1000 BCE to today while reconfiguring itself to suit every era. This is not mere chance, but has happened because of the resources available within the civilization and the religions that arose in its matrix.I ask because I am trying to figure out what keeps followers of religions satisfied with their religion.
I cannot really determine that. It is a state of being, so I do not have to like it. I liked the illusion that everyone was like family, that loving everyone was normal. It was not about what I brought to the table.What is the #1 thing you like about your faith?
I think some things provided are: Acceptance, a safe space for children, morality, beliefs such as the belief in afterlife or healing, self discipline, culture and geeky things like Bible study, a marriage market, approval, community standing, and contacts.I ask because I am trying to figure out what keeps followers of religions satisfied with their religion.

Would you call that simplicity?The #1 thing is connection and blessings with my family and family in spirit.
...in Buddhism (or in life, rather; not separate) knowing everything I experience comes from me and how I think. I receive help, of course; and, it starts with me. Without that, I'd always be searching outside of myself. That I can do for ages until I die. I am here. I don't have to search for me. I can learn about myself right here and now at this very moment.
