Right, but my understanding is that historically Buddhism did not spread through violence. My point was more that religion can spread for reasons that aren’t either violence or truth.
And Buddhist violence is mostly a result of British colonialism and the rise of nationalism, rather than something about the religion itself (whereas Christianity more directly encourages violence, especially against heathens, Muslims, etc.).
Joseon was at times violently anti-Buddhist
Whether the creation of Joseon was in reaction to Buddhist oppression or the anti-Buddhist movement was to secure legitimacy from Confucians is lost to history (read up to interpretation) but it still occurred
Islam exists because a warlord needed to control his territories, no idea why you would think they got violence from Christianity
