Buddha was not a god. Just a very wise man.
Buddha is highly respected for his wisdom and serenity. It borders on idolatry and deification, but doesn't quite cross the line.
Buddhism specifically states that the Buddha is not a god. That’s not deification.
Even if Buddha may not be considered a god, he is worshiped, he is prayed to, and he has graven images that people bow down before. It’s no better than praying to the image of a saint, or common ancestor worship.
