I meant the accounts of what Buddha himself taught seem to steer clear of God. eg in the article:

>when asked abstract metaphysical questions, such as whether the world is eternal, whether the soul is different from the body, or what happens to a liberated person (tathāgata) after death and so on, Gotama stays silent, or points out that he has set these subjects aside

he seems to stick to the observable basics. Though as mentioned, of course people may have tacked stuff on subsequently.
