Is Buddhism atheistic?

Hello, this is a bit complicated. First of all Buddhism currently has many branches. From the point of view of the original Buddhism, which is the source, practicing Buddhism is very simple and hard, that is, practicing meditation such as the Four Noble Truths (which has been borrowed by the West and used in clinical settings, and to develop the sensitivity of the counselor, typical examples are the famous "Positive Thought Cognitive Therapy")

It is possible to think that the original It can be argued that the original Buddhism, the traditional pure Buddhism, was a study and exercise of the mind.

-But you mentioned one thing: you asked if Buddhism is atheistic. -- Actually, to be honest, I think the name atheism, is a silly name. It's not judged on the basis of "reasonableness" or "rationality" -- it's judged on the basis of "do you believe in gods and ghosts? "

From this stupid perspective, the original Buddhism seems to be theistic, I'm not sure ah, just seems to be so, because the impression is that after all, Buddhism is deeper in contact with the practice of Buddhism, and contact with some of the ordinary people do not have access to the sphere. Maybe from the understanding of the world, Buddhism may be slightly recognized that there are some unexplainable things.

As for the later myths, I don't know, maybe it's the inevitable secularization, anyway, from my personal point of view, I don't seem to like the latter, and prefer the traditional initial Buddhist study and practice help.
