Buddhism is a real religion in that it exists. Buddha presumably was a real person. What western secularists think of as Buddhism isn't usually real though.

Yes, George Washington followed the example of Cincinnatus, which in no way was an affront to Christianity, as you seem to imagine.

many of the greatest minds of science & business today were/are drawn to those ideas & meditations of Buddha

I can't think of any such examples. And I don't know why someone who followed a philosophy of renunciation of striving would devote themselves to either science or business.
