This is stupid, since Buddhists do not consider the Buddha (the man, Siddhartha Gautama) to be divine. In fact, my understanding is that they do not even claim that Buddhism is a religion — and that Buddhists are free to believe that God exists or does not. I have heard that many are believers, many are atheists, and many are agnostics. Perhaps someone can confirm or refute this here.
