Are Buddhists really atheists?

Atheists in the West claim that Buddhists are atheists, so they (the atheists in the West) feel better that they are not the only atheists in the world.

My purpose is to ask Buddhists whether they really deny that God exists.

From my part, I know from my reason and intelligence that God exists.

So, paging Buddhists, please come over and let us discuss whether you Buddhists really deny God exists.

Where did you learn your Buddhism, from Buddhist monks in the Far East, or from a Buddhism fan in the West who never lived in the Far East?

@in10RjFox I'm a Buddhist and i deny god. Buddhism teaches noting is permanent,in fact nothing exists unchanging for even a moment.
There is no god in Buddhism. When gods are mentioned they are symbolic for states of mind.
