Lady Arwen *is* correct. Buddhism - pure Buddhism - is not
a religion, but a philosophy.  Many Buddhists, though, also
believe in gods, or superhuman beings, or spirits, often
borrowed from 'neighboring' religions.  But if you were to
ask a Buddhist monk whether s/he believes in a Buddhist
god, the answer is likely to be "no." Incidentally,
Buddhists do not worship the Buddha.
