Yes the reformation it requires is for its adherents to grow up and stop believing in fairy tales (together with the adherents of all other religions).

If it does, I'll make sure I remember when I'm reborn and believe in it next time round.

I've actually read a fair bit about Buddhism. If I did have to pick a religion, that would be it.
It seems to me there's a split between Islam, Christianity and Judaism on the one hand, which try to suppress our innate evolutionary attributes thus causing pain and frustration and the Eastern religions, particularly Buddhism, which try to get humans through the angst of existence (while still having a fair amount of BS). For example, there is more and more scientific evidence that meditation is an effective technique for all sorts of ills.
