I feel the same about Mormonism, Islam, Buddhism or any other religion that teaches men to deny the divinity of Jesus.

Emile,
What are you talking about? Buddhism doesn't teach men to deny the divinity of Jesus. Remember that the Buddha was alive before Jesus, and then maybe it won't be a shock to you to discover that the Buddha had nothing at all to say about Jesus's divinity. He neither denied it nor proclaimed it. Why are you so egocentric to think that every great spiritual teacher commented directly on Christianity?

By the way, at my Zen center there are joint Christian/Buddhist retreats. Before you make broad proclamations about other religions, it might be a good idea to find out if you're right first. Otherwise you might come across to some as ignorant and narrow minded. Just a suggestion.
