Buddha itself is God. The part of Buddha that was human is Siddharta Gautama.I think it is the same thing with Jesus. Jesus is a mortal man like Siddharta was, but he transcended to the state of God like Siddharta did too. In other words they became one with God.
Buddha never claimed to be God...Buddha means "enlightened one"or "one who knows ultamate truth"
Siddhartha had no need for gods and they were of no relevance to his findings.
