No worship required! That's why most of us love the practice so much.
Read some of the threads in Buddhism 101 and you will get some idea of why Buddhism may include devotion but certainly no worship.
I hope you enjoy it here and will decide to stay.
BTW: you are, of course, complete but I wonder what you mean by it.
The best thing I can advise you to do for my part is to have a really good trawl through the site. Buddhism 101 and the Buddhist FAQ zone (right at the bottom of the forum index) plus any other threads which catch your eye... Jesus & Buddha, judaism, atheism.... there's so much for you to read! In addition to which, you're always welcome to jump into any of the discussions we're all having, and give your slant and perspective! We have members of all ages on here, but be under no illusion - even us oldies are more than happy to learn a few things from our younger members. There's no difference as far as we're all concerned, when it comes to sharing and learning.... Don't be shy, and have your say.
Look forward to hearing more from you....
PS: You can bet your bottom dollar that if there WAS a nice neat shortcut to "being Buddhist" - man, I'd have taken it long ago! Life is one long process of learning - I certainly am not through yet - !! But don't let that put you off - because alongside the friends you'll make, the trip is great fun, and very worthwhile!!

Simon,
I liked your response. Could work as a radio spot...
