I don't know much about Buddhism, that's why I asked the question, and liesjeversteven gave a good answer.
But I think there was several Buddha's, and none of them is a god for anyone. They worship him for sagacity and breaking thru the circle of life (normal would be reincarnation and life goes on and on).
Buddhism is the only big religion that is not totally based on once spoken words. I think Buddha said something like that: always think by yourself and to question teachings.
And it's totally against hating and very tolerant. As long as you are not a cause of affliction everything is fine. It's the own religion that allows to belief in other religions while being Buddhist.
