That seems to be the point of the article. You probably meant to refer to Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva? Nichi can fill you in.

I can't help you much with Hinduism.

Buddhism more or less concedes the existence of the various kinds of Hindu divinities. Also those of Confucianism, Taoism, Bon, Shinto, the Burmese folk religions, and so on.

From Wikipedia: "Buddhism teaches that none of these gods is a creator or an eternal being, though they can live very long lives. In Buddhism, [the gods] are also trapped in the cycle of rebirth and are not necessarily virtuous. Thus, while Buddhism includes multiple "gods", its main focus is not on them. Peter Harvey calls this "trans-polytheism"."

A person can be a Jew or a Christian or a Muslim or an atheist and practice Buddhism.

The idea is to practice the teachings, not worship the teacher.

Practicing right effort, right  mindfulness, and right concentration yields real benefits.

Here's a columnist with a pretty solid misunderstanding of what Christian Conservatives value

I said "Here's a columnist with a pretty solid misunderstanding of what Christian Conservatives value"
The response - "Jesus"

Seems spot on to me.

The points of the article seem to be the religious bigotry and hypocrisy of the Christian Right.

Core Buddhist practice is an ethical and mental
 discipline.

The gods are viewed as Dharma friends and guardians. The devotional practices and blessings have merit. They feel good, foster a harmonious sense of community, and are preparation for meditation.

Trump's bond for Georgia is 200k. Turns out that the whole case was just a scam to get Republicans to support no cash bail
