That's going to be pretty darned hard to answer in a couple of paragraphs.
hinduism - there's a hierarchy of major gods and there are many minor gods as well. These account for various aspects of life such as Ghaneesh for material success.
buddhism - not really a theistic practice. Buddha's advice is what they take but it isn't about god - god isn't really that important in our day to day lives.
confucianism/daoism (which I consider to be very similar - confucious stole a lot of his stuff from Taoism) There is no god but the tao - the tao that can be talked about is not the true tao - god is more like nature.

Hinduism is monotheistic but has deities to sort of serve various aspects of His capabilities, though in the Vedas, God is always referred to as one Supreme Being.
Buddhism I think can also be loosely considered monotheistic though I feel the focus is much more on spirituality. However, there are boddhisattvas who are often worshipped, as well as the Buddha himself.
Confucianism is a philosophy, not a religion.
Daoism is concerned with the De which I guess can be a sort of "energy." It's focus seems to lie in balance (hence the ubiquitous yin and yang concept).

do you mean, who do these people worship ?
Hindus worship, god in many forms. They say that god is every where, and you can worship the way you feel as right. I mean the form.
Hinduism always seeks for refinement.
I think buddism is hinduism from perspective on a great person, buddha.
I dont know about other two faiths.

i can't say that there IS a god in those religions. well, in hinduism there's a million and also Brahmin who is a conglomeration of all the lower gods (or something like that, my hinduism is a bit rusty). Other than hinduism, though, there aren't convential "gods" per se, more like an "eternal truth".
Lao Tzu called the Tao the mother of the 10,000 things, and further that it was nameless and unknowable.

Hinduims: All the numerous deities are faces of Brahman, the infinite. Read your other q, I answered it.
Buddhims:Like Brahman, except Brahman is conscious while Buddhist universal field is not.NO deities.
