Ah yes, meditation!

I love meditation! And as I am familiar with Christianity I am sure there is no conflict with meditation, it only helps one's faith.

BTW, Buddhism isn't really a religion, as a Buddhist is an atheist. Buddhism is a philosophy.
the meditative part of Buddhism is Zen. Zen aids everything one does, as it is a kind of mental workout. The workout has to do with blanking your mind, which is not at all easy to do. The spinning mind is lake a heavy flywheel, too hard to stop just by trying to counter it's force. With meditation, we learn the end run around it.

Make sense to anyone?
