Buddhism is not like Christianity unless you decide to dedicate your life to being a monk... there is doctrine but it's just like any (even LOO). Which sect of Buddhism is it? The only sect that I find that is not dogmatic is Zen Buddhism. I have many friends who train at zen temples (sitting meditations and moving meditations like archery, pottery, and martial arts) and they talk about concepts but it's nothing you need to accept or become initiated in unless you want to be a roshi (monk/priest).
Oh wait, Nichiren... is it called Sokagakkai? Aka Family something institute? If so, keep away! That is a break-off sect of Nichiren (which is an established sect of Buddhism) and they basically are considered a cult by mainstream Japanese Buddhists.
