What is the difference between Buddha's denial of God and the arguments of atheists regarding man's dignity?

Buddha's denial of God is not a rejection of the divine, but an invitation to discover the inner divinity within ourselves, where true dignity and mastery reside.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Atheists say “no God” so anything goes; Buddha says “no outer God” so you find the God within and grow up.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts focus from blind belief to inner practice and responsibility.
- Preserves human dignity by affirming our capacity to awaken.
- Guides moral freedom toward growth rather than indulgence.
