Buddha is not a god, he is a man.
Buddha indicated thet gods are not eseential to enlightenment. Buddhism discounts the impact or need of gods in mankinds progress towards enlightenment. Each person is responsible for his own progress.
the religion was Buddhist...thats the point of buddha...their god.
The Buddhist figure is the God of the Buddha religion. His name is Gautama Buddha, who was a spiritual figure who's teachings founded Buddhism, so the Buddha figure is Gautama the original Buddhist

Hotei/laughing Buddha. He was not a god he was a guru, who is said to be the return of the Buddha!
Buddha never bothered about God. In fact Buddhism is an atheistic religion like Jainism. Later the followers of Buddha made him a God. Only after Mahayana Buddhism came he was made God. In Hinayana Buddhism Buddha was not a God. There is reference, though, in Buddhist text, to the "First Cause." Since God is the Creator of the universe and all that is therein, then God is the First Cause.
First off, Buddhist do not worship The Buddha. We honor and revere him. He was not a god. We come together to practice and honor him in a temple.
no buddist dont have a god they believe in the buddha also known as siddhartha guatama
They do not worship a 'God' as such. Buddha was a mentor and teacher who is largely attributed with starting the religion and spreading the 'word' but it is more a belief in enlightenment, peace and wisdom than any god. They meditate rather than worship.
A follower of The Buddha is called a Buddhist. As a note: Buddhists doe not worship The Buddha. We revere him, we are grateful to him, but he is not a god.
Agnostics question whether there is a God. They don't believe in organized religion. --- The Buddha said that it was not necessary to believe in a god to achieve enlightenment. He neither disputed nor acknowledged the existence of gods, but left it to his followers whether to believe in them. Having said that, many Buddhist sects are now firmly theistic. ------- There are no agnostic religions. Buddhism, technically speaking, is not a religion; it is a way of life. The Buddha is not a god in the sense that westerners think of god. The Buddha is one who achieved enlightenment.
