The Buddha never preached that there was no god, he merely demonstrated the futility of searching for one. He gave the Hindus an analogy of a man who loved a woman, but did not know which woman. When they said that the man was a fool he asked them, "Are you not the same? You say that this God your father or grandfather never saw, and now you are quarreling upon a thing which neither you nor your ancestors ever knew and you are trying to cut each other's throats about it."(Joshi, 78-from Complete Works, III)

It's an interesting take, but there are reasons people believe in God.
It's not the be all end all.

It's so weird how I just learned about Buddhism in Philosophy class, and now there are all these topics.

True, he did not preach of no god, but he also did not preach of a god, hence Buddhism has no official gods.

He wanted to give the Hindus an option besides living with their low caste all their lives.
