The Theravada tradition (the most ancien form of buddhism, who started soon after his death) considers the bouddha to be a man who simpy reached his full potential of enlightenment. Later, some people considered this achievement as not enough, and made him a god (just like Jesus Christ, actually). The main difference being that all streams (Islamic, Christianity, Judaism and such) agree on God being... well, God.
