The Buddha did not concern himself with answering the question of whether there is a God or Gods since it is not relevant to what he was searching for, which is an end to suffering. Buddhists do not consider The Buddha, Siddhattha Gotama, a God. Some Buddhists believe that there is a heavenly realm where people can attain temporary god-hood, but this belief is not universal.


What do Buddhists think about 'everyone should thank the gods for their food'?

Well, in Buddhism, our focus is more on the idea of self appreciation. We believe that if you do a good deed, such as giving thanks to the gods, we are not only pleasing the gods, but we are simply pleasing ourselves as well (but Buddhists are generally atheist and do not believe in God (s), but I'm a Catholic-Buddhist).
