Detailed explanation-1: -While Buddhism is a tradition focused on spiritual liberation, it is not a theistic religion. The Buddha himself rejected the idea of a creator god, and Buddhist philosophers have even argued that belief in an eternal god is nothing but a distraction for humans seeking enlightenment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hinduism worships Brahman-the supreme lifeforce from which atman (souls) and many other gods originate, however Buddhism worships incarnations of one god-Buddhas.
Detailed explanation-3: -Buddhism and Hinduism agree on karma, dharma, moksha and reincarnation. They are different in that Buddhism rejects the priests of Hinduism, the formal rituals, and the caste system. Buddha urged people to seek enlightenment through meditation.
