I tend to agree that Buddhism has been *relatively* less focussed on social matters than the Abrahamic faiths

Where I disagree is the formulation of Buddhist beliefs

Buddhism tries to remove attachment to concepts such as soul and existence

In doing so it teaches emptiness

Emptiness refers to the concept being empty not the reality being empty

Reality is neither empty nor not empty it just is

You just are

An elephant doesn't care where it sits

Buddhist teaching is caught in an eternal trap of using words to try to stop ppl from filtering their experience of reality through words

This can become highly confusing, including for Buddhists!
