what about clinging to the hope of not-clinging?

that's exactly what the buddha would say.. the teachings are meant to be a guide, but no one can do things for you. besides, buddhism was never supposed to be a religion, just a guide for living.

"If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.

To turn the Buddha into a religious fetish is to miss the essence of what he taught."
http://www.shambhalasun.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=2903Itemid=247

"Imagine meeting some symbolic Buddha. Would he be a great teacher that you might actually meet and follow in the real world? Could that Buddha be you yourself, having reached Enlightenment? Or maybe you have some idealized image of perfection that equates to your concept of the Buddha or Enlightenment.

Whatever your conception is of the Buddha, it’s WRONG! Now kill that image and keep practicing. This all has to do with the idea that reality is an impermanent illusion. If you believe that you have a correct image of what it means to be Enlightened, then you need to throw out (kill) that image and keep meditating.

Most people have heard the first chapter of the Tao, “The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao.” (So if you think you see the real Tao, kill it and move on)."

you just have to avoid the schools of buddhism that have these religious aspects, and take whatever's helpful to you.

check out this book on zen and buddhism without religious aspects.

The Way of Zen

--------------------
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines
