They say the same for Mahayana Buddhists. Checking what else they say, I 
realise why my Mahayana score was not so high.  Under 'Belief in Deity', 
they have Buddha as a 'celestial spirit with saving power of grace'  and 
'omnipotence'. I am getting a refund on my Mahayana subscription - a not 
inconsiderable sum for a lifetime member many times over.
