Buddhism emphasizes too much asceticism and has too much rejection of this life imo.

I shared my position on this in a response to Caspar. I partially agree that it may be too demanding for most people, although I think that is offset by the fact that the basic Buddhist meditative practices can help improve secular life as well, and do not require any special interest in spirituality.
