I also generally find Buddha's basic teachings and practices to be useful because they never reference any kind of divinity or higher power. As such it doesn't necessarily fall under my definition of 'religion', and the practices seem generally to be internally focused, on mental/emotional health in particular. That said, my understandings are extremely shallow, and it also seems that there are several flavors of Buddhism (Tibetan in particular?) that do indeed add that religious/divine/mystic aspect, which seems almost contradictory.
