Religion is a very heavy word these days but you need not worry if you are a true Buddhist because Buddhism is a way of life. I am living in a country that majority of people worship Buddhism. Buddhism and way of Buddha is whole different aspect because the way of Lord Buddha is a path in simply “how you should live”. Basically understanding the way of nature such as you are aging you cannot stop that is a natural phenomenon. In my opinion, Lord Buddha understood how people lived so he did not try to change it. He knew if you change the way of people that will be lost.

Before talking about, what Lord Buddha has shown to people, we need to talk about how people lived before Lord Buddha. People lived their lives without a purpose for example people used to warship rocks and trees. But Lord Buddha gave them a purpose do not worship all trees worship the tree that helps me to become Lord Buddha. This is my key point when People worship different trees, there will always be a conflict to avoid this, he advised me not to worship all the trees instead of worship the tree that I sat on when I become Lord Buddha so conflict was reduced.

He never told anyone to convert into Buddhism, he advised to people come to and listen to what I have to say, if you are okay with it, you can come daily but you do not need to change your religion. So how simple is that no war between two religious people. If he wanted to change the way of people he should have told do not worship that religion come to me, I am one who tells the truth. This reason will be enough to have war. He also said your mind is everything if you are able to control your mind you will be able to take control of your life as you needed. I would like to mention a fact here do not compare the other religion with Buddhism because it is not a religion it is a path everyone can follow it

If lord Buddha tries to change the world that would be catastrophic, think your job is forging, so you are making a weapon if someone said a tree will cut down or an animal will be hunted from that weapon so that you should stop forging how will that man survive it is fair for him. Lord Buddha said do your job but understand its nature. If he did the forging perfectly the customer is happy that good. Lord Buddha did not try to change anything. He taught if this will happen so understand nature after all we are part of nature.
