No, they believe that there are no gods.
You could argue that they believe that everything and everyperson is holy, but that's the only valid arguement.

the core Buddhism, as taught by Gautama Buddha, had no gods...it simply showed the way to Nirvana where Nirvana meant freedom from suffering. By like any other religion, Buddhism today has many offshoots, and many cults....and several of these cults worship various god and goddesses.
Many view God as an impersonal force which is made up of all living things and holds the universe together...and many believers treat Gautama Buddha as god, although he never claimed divinity...

There is NO GOD in Buddhism!
A Buddha is simply an enlightened one!
Buddhism is not a religion but a way of thought!

the form of buddism I study is godless go to wikipedia and/or type Buddhism into the search engine and select the wikipedia for buddhism you will find three main forms of buddhism to pick from.the original unabridged version of Gautama was a philosophy not a religion . And although some of the hindi teaching slips by against my beliefs like re-incarnation most of it is good.they teach that avidya is the primal cause in buddhism .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avidya_%28Buddhism%29

In Buddhism, we don't believe in any gods or creator, and we don't worship. In the teaching, Buddha taught that everyone have the Buddha nature in us, we too can become a Buddha, but we have to do we work we have to do as our mind are heavily obscured, full of negativities, and afflicted emotion.
Buddha don't consider himself as a god too, he was just a guide, in fact in many teaching, he refered himself as a doctor, the teaching as the medicine, and the supreme beings (Buddhisattva who have enter into the 5 mahayana path) as nurses.
If you wish to know more about Buddhism, you can search lots of info from internet.

None, in traditional Buddhism. Siddartha Guatama (the Buddha) focused on this life, not the gods.

Answer: Buddhism is a philosophy, ergo any reference to God is moot. Can't be answered.
