Most religions teaches about a creator/almighty God. Buddhism does not agree on this.
Most religions emphasize on Genesis and Apocalypse. Though there are Genesis and Apocalypse teachings also in Buddhism, those are only peripheral teachings, and not quite important to follow the path. Those are presented "just for the extra information".
Most religions have followers who worship or pray in return of materialistic favours. Buddhism does not encourage prayer for material gain. It is shunned as ineffective wishful thinking. Buddha asks, if prayer works, why still there are poor, why still there is suffering among humans.
Most religions teaches to aim for the heaven, and avoid hell. Buddhism says, there is no eternal life in heaven. Angels fall, Gods also die, so cease the suffering by removing attachments, which is called Nirvana, which is way more better than going to Heaven. But if you fail in the path, you can still go to heaven.
