Buddhist path do not focus on God the creator concept, rather, buddhists focus more on self-development, Self purification and Self-liberation.
The Buddha never taught if there was a Creator God or not... but Buddhists do believe in Gods in the forms of Devas... who are believed to be part of cyclic reincarnation existence.

There are no gods in the Buddhist religion. Buddha is the spiritual teacher and founder, but was not a god, just a man.

There is no Buddhist god.
Buddhism is a non-theistic religion whose goal is to break the cycle of rebirth and death through achieving enlightenment, a state of perfect detachment from worldliness.
Buddhism has room for powerful supernatural entities, but holds that those too are in need of enlightenment and release from the world.

Buddhists don't believe in a God, Gautama Buddha was their teacher, not a God.
But better than the Islamic extremists idea of god.

There is no God in Buddhism, he is a human just like you and me. The followers declared him as the God. Always ask yourself
this and you will always be able to answer it yourself, if he is God, then all the people in the world will become gods once they died. Don't follow people blindly , don't take for granted others as the creator, you will benefit nothing out of it and at the same time , you are just wasting your precious time on earth. There is only one creator Almighty, Allah. Who had created mankind.

Buddhists tend to be open to the idea of an ultimate, underlying life-force (probably due to Hindu influences, but that's no bad thing), but it is not a named entity and they do not give it any special sort of worship.

The is no Buddhist god. Buddhism does not teach about what might or might not be but rather what is here right now.
