Buddhism is Atheist and does not contain any Gods or anything to worship.
Buddhism is a psychological practise.
I can't answer the Taoist side of the question though. As far as I recall, Taoism (by Confucius) does not contain any Gods either.

Taoism began with Lao Tzu, not Confucius. It was never a religion in the beginning, more of a philosophy.
Although ascetics and hermits such as Shen Tao (who advocated that one 'abandon knowledge and discard self') first wrote of the 'Tao' it is with the sixth century B.C. philosopher Lao Tzu (or 'Old Sage' -- born Li Erh) that the philosophy of Taoism really began. Some scholars believe was a slightly older contemporary of Confucius (Kung-Fu Tzu, born Chiu Chung-Ni). Other scholars feel that the Tao Te Ching, is really a compilation of paradoxical poems written by several Taoists using the pen-name, Lao Tzu.
It wasn't until much later that godfreaks took the teachings and turned it into a religion. Sound familiar?

Pray daily for those around you. compliment his call and thank him for the best issues on your life. examine your bible and memorize scripture. it is going to come on your ideas once you like it. i don't be attentive to what number situations, remembering a Scripture has pulled me by using a tough time in my life and delivered me closer to God. %. your friends with great care so which you're no longer uncovered to issues that should draw you into sin. Sin separates us from God. do no longer purely communicate the communicate approximately being a Christian. positioned that faith into prepare and walk the walk. help others in each and every way you are able to. For once you do this, you're honoring your Father in Heaven. yet maximum of all, positioned him first on your life. God inhabits the praises of his human beings. compliment him usually and you will sense his Presence.

neither of them have a god. Bhuddism was started by the ideas of Siddhartha Gautama who didnt want them to worship him or any god person, and taoism was an idea started by confucius

There is no god in Buddhism. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_in_Buddhism or http://www.parami.org/buddhistanswers/what_about_god.htm
Taoism is polytheistic, i.e. has many gods, but they are not prayed to. See http://religiousmovements.lib.virginia.edu/nrms/taoism.html
