Gautama was a Hindu before his enlightenment.

Updated Answer:

The Buddha did not mean to start any religion; what he wanted to do is bring people to happiness through enlightenment. In the process of bringing his teachings to the world by his followers the Buddhist religion was born. It should be noted that we Buddhists do not worship Buddha as any form of a deity.
