personally buddha is fake so not a very good question!
The Buddha's main question was why is there suffering, probably better understood as dissatisfaction, in the world. He saw that people were unsatisfied and suffering and wanted to learn why and how to stop it.
Buddha was seeking what was out there and the meaning to suffering because people were suffering.
According to Buddha, the cause of suffering in the world is desire and attachment.
Buddha never knew about suffering until the age of about 30 when he finally left his estate and saw suffering all around him. Buddha wondered why people had to suffer and die. He wanted to find the answer so after a long search he finally just meditated and fasted. Then after he started to understand the answer, he taught about it. That is the beginning of Buddhism.
Buddha's intent was to end suffering. This was to be done by understanding at suffering is caused by desire and that it can be eliminated by controlling desire.
Buddhism is unimportant to the Buddha, the Buddha only cared about reality and ending suffering.
Buddhism began by the teachings of Buddha who created an 8 fold path for which his followers should live by. Buddha 's intent was to stop the cycle of suffering that he saw in the world by creating guidelines for people to live by.
The Buddha was trying to find the answer to suffering.
Buddha taught the path leading to the end of suffering.

No deity is required to achieve this. So Buddha believed in every person. He did not believe in a god(s)
