How do they align?
With buddhism, and many other eastern mythologies, god is a symbol, not a fact as in the christian tradition. Has more in common with the one will or nature in all things. All things are buddah things. Enlightenment in the realization that we are the energy. We are the will that creates and destroys all things. Total consciousness. Just my take on it.
generally buddhism has no deity. but in Thailand and a couple of other places the buddhists believe in some lesser gods and of course the vedic hindus have a whole assortment of deities.
