Buddhism was and still is based on insight into human nature. Since humans have a tendency to believe in gods, gods get mentioned in early Buddhism and later get incorporated from local religions in the areas Buddhism spread to. At its base, Buddhism is about working with what we can know and see directly, and on seeing through delusion, not on developing beliefs in things unseen, or feeding delusion.
