You said:"The popularization of Buddhism required alterations in its basic tenets (I think I added "for lack of a better term" to the secularization...but if not, that was an oversight), just as Christianity and Judaism did. Those alterations diluted the essence of these religions to make them more palatable. Iconography is a popular thing, as is having a "guru", "sensei", or "spiritual adviser". As a result, the original intent of the religion is lost to more "secular" (for lack of a better term) needs."
