Buddhists do not regard the Buddha as a god. He is seen as a wise man who thought his way through the question of human suffering to determine its cause and cure. He is revered for this, Buddha himself said there were no gods to worship or pay homage to. Each person is responsible for discovering their one path to enlightenment.
