> says gaming, religion serve similar life purposes
Glad it's a Buddhist saying this. My knee-jerk was to compare the benign influence of violent videogames to the radicalizing influence of violent religions.
This may just be my lack of familiarity with Buddhism, but my understanding is they're generally pretty chill and actually make a positive impact on society. Other religions, not so much.
