Because almost none of them read the sanskrit.Damn, I did not know this about Buddism. I bet if these facts were more we’ll known, Buddism wouldn’t be as popular among the hippie/new age kooks & atheists. How did it become popular with the hippie movement in the first place?
The bible is translated into so many languages and also into different format like comic, pictures and simple modern english, and even then most christians don't read it. Much less Buddhist scriptures which is not so easily consumed.
All they think in their mind is Buddhism is all just about "karma", in which they subconsciously assume that their moral understanding is the objective moral virtue, thus they'll be justifying their own actions as good and receiving good karma. So in the end it still boils down to the same thing, pride.
