Well their is a bit of a misunderstanding here in regards to the Buddha. He is not seen as a God in Buddhism. He is a human who has become enlightened and Buddhism is not based so much on worship of a God or Gods but working to find the path to enlightenemnt.

As far as puralism I think their can be found a good deal of commonality amongst religions. All do seem to have a version of the golden rule (do unto others.....) Though unfortunatly this is often ignored especially amongst the more fundamentalist sects. I do not think one will necessarilly have to agree with one on every single point to find puralism but only to be able to respect the other person's point of view. I think if anything a genuine dialogue would be far more benificial here then anything else (and of course this will have to include agnostics, aithiests etc)

peace
