Harris does not "claim to be a Buddhist," and
in fact in one of the articles that were part
of this ongoing debate has said explicitly that
he was not.
And he probably did this to counteract rumors
like the one you're perpetuating.
Interestingly, I have never once claimed to be a Buddhist. It's just
an assumption he's making.
As I've said here before: Buddha-dharma is an Enlightenment school.
To the extent that "Buddhism" is an Enlightenment school, it
succeeds; to the extent that is a "religion" or espouse religiosity,
it fails.
IMO of course.
