Merle,
quoting:
"question:...what is the difference between zen and atheism?"
Atheism does not exist; Zen does.
quoting:
"is enlightenment merely an illusion? or perhaps even a delusion?"
Not to those who have experienced it. But they must continue to practice in
order to remain awake, and for their behavior to continue to be "enlightened".
Else, awakening becomes just a memory.
