FYI: This is not a controversial statement

Where, exactly, is the controversy in Brit Hume's advice to Tiger Woods?

It is a matter of fact, not opinion, that Buddhism does not offer the kind of forgiveness and redemption which Christianity offers. Forgiveness and redemption are not the aim of Buddhism because Buddhism has no concept of sin. To make this statement controversial is to be willfully ignorant of the distinctions between Christianity and Buddhism.

Some will argue, of course, that the controversy is not in the comparison of the two religions, but in Hume's suggestion that Woods leave one faith for another. But history bears witness, time and time again, of genuine transformation in the lives of countless persons--celebrities or otherwise--who have turned from the false promises of false religions and embraced the Truth embodied in the Person and work of Jesus Christ.

Tim Fountain suggests some possible reasons for the predictable outcry of the secularists.

Perhaps because a sudden outbreak of spiritual healing and moral decency among high profile people would wipe out the lucrative reality TV industry.

Perhaps because the decline of narcissism would would destroy the melodrama that medicates meaningless lives.
