Buddhists do not believe in a single, omniscient God. The Buddhist understanding of the universe includes a recognition that there are a lot of aspects of this universe, this reality, that we don't understand. Through analytical meditation and other practices we can understand the deeper truths about this reality; truths that can't be understood with our every day minds. When we reach enlightenment we will understand it, and until then there is no reason to believe that there either is or isn't a God. Buddhists aren't atheists, but they also aren't theists.
The Buddha himself indicated that there is no role for gods in mankind's achieving enlightenment. Each person must, over the course of many cycles of death and rebirth, find and follow his own path. The Abrahanic faiths' role of a god blessing, condemning, saving his followers is not part of Buddhism.
