It’s basically a ying yang sort of deal, a Buddhist monk talks about the opposite nature of the two religions when Christ ascends in suffering actively and vertically, while Buddha dies passively and peacefully. Christianity is a religion of fire and revolution, extremely political from the start.

The opposite, unless you are a reactionary, Christianity was against the authority in the Roman and Jewish world at the time

Christianity in its original context was left wing (focus on other, give up possessions for a reorganization of society, savior figure who died violently), while original Buddhism was what we'd call right wing (focus on oneself, improving by gradual changes, setting examples for others). Nowadays such a classification is impossible.
