Best Answer

Buddhism is not a theistic philosophy. The existence of god or gods is seen as non-important as each of us must find our own path to enlightenment. If there are beings who would be classified as god(s) they do not interact with humans.

Was Buddhism based on people or on gods?

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.
