Technically Buddhists are atheists as well. And I guess naturalistic pantheists are too, in a sense of the word.
Certain Bhuddists believe gods exist but are simply beings on another level of existance also in need of enlightenment. I'm not sure what the most popular theory is in Bhuddism, but I'm pretty sure it includes gods.
Actually, I was thinking of becoming a Bhuddist. I've been looking into it over the past few days and I really like the sound of it.
I remember telling a classmate that Bhuddism was an atheist religion and then he started saying that I was wrong because they believe in Bhudda. I pointed out that Bhudda isn't a god, but he was so set on me being wrong that he didn't listen to me.
I think there's an extremely large number of Buddhist denominations with differing views.
These include, if I recall correctly, several syncretic* denominations that claim that Buddha Gutama Sidhartha was an avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu (and therefore also the reincarnation of Krishna as well).
*Characterized by the blending of two or more religious belief systems into a new system.
That's completely true but it's a Hindu belief and not a Bhuddist one, crafted by clever holy men in order to return Bhuddists to the fold. It's why there aren't all that many Bhuddists on the subcontinent anymore. I don't know if it's what most Hindus believe but I think so.
Actually, I'll go look that up.
