I’m a Buddhist. Do you regard Buddhism as a religion? Or philosophy?

I'll take it as a philosophy.

By the way, when asked to "say grace" at the beginning of a meal, I put my finders in a meditative pose, and chant, "Buddha, Buddha, bless the fooda." πŸ™‚

Some consider it a religion, and some consider it a philosophy. What do you consider it to be David?

I use it as a philosophy. For me. It’s like a life coach to me. When I chant nam myoho renge kyo it allows me to think about my problems and how to get through them and also set goals for my life

It is not what I regard as another's religion or not, it is what they regard.

Academically it is one of the six World Religions

It depends on your definition of religion:
