Q Do Buddhists believe in God?
A No, Buddhism is a non-theistic religion because it does not center on a creator God or supreme divine ruler. While various Buddhist traditions recognize celestial beings, deities, or spirits, these entities are bound by karma and the cycle of rebirth, making them unhelpful for ultimate spiritual salvation. Instead, Buddhism emphasizes personal responsibility, self-reliance, and individual effort to attain enlightenment.
