Best Answer

Buddishists do not belive in one god because they have more than one symbol

Answer:

Buddhists believe in Buddha in the same way that Americans "believe" in George Washington" , not in the way that Christians "believe" in Jesus. The Buddha is a historic figure who solved the problem of suffering and proposed a route to enlightenment. He is, however, a man not a god.
