The Buddha said that people do not have to believe in gods to receive enlightenment, but that they can believe in gods if they wish to do so. Thus, the is that the Buddha did not find out about God at all. However, he would have approved of people believing in God, provided that they exercise tolerance towards those who do not.

What is the difference between Meditation Buddha and Lord Buddha?
I know the difference between the two Buddha's but forgive me, for I do not remember the name of the type of Buddhism that uses each. (I believe one began with an M and the other a T) First off, there was a divide among the people if Buddha was a god or just a teacher. Those who thought he was a god went their own separate way to practice their religion based on Buddha (Siddartha Gautama) as a god. While the other group practiced his teachings as a great teacher and not a god. Therefore, the meditating Buddha represents the Buddhists who believed he was a teacher and Lord Buddha was a god.
