Yes. Among other things. And so: how does this make Buddhists worthy of
inclusion in your 96-98% of people who believe in "supreme higher orders"?

Are you saying that adhering to the Golden Rule makes one a believer?
If so, I just found, to my considerable shock, that I'm an atheist
who believes in "supreme higher orders". Just imagine my surprise.
