You cannot fit everyone into your neat little boxes.

Take these saying.............A beard doesn't make a philosopher.........or..........the dress does not make the priest.......
People are free to say what they like to be but in order to be what they say they are they must prove it.
Buddha like Christ like and other person that follow spirituality obviously believe in God.
I already explained why Buddha did not mention God.
See my previous posts.
You make up a bullshit story about what Buddha originally thought, then assume your spirituality is the only kind there is, so Buddha must have been following your spirituality because he was obviously a smart guy. The amount of made up bullshit in your story is outlandish. It all depends on things you assert but don't actually know being true. You may have already 'explained' why Buddha did not mention God, but your explanation was nothing but bullshit which you have no way of knowing. An 'explanation' is nothing more than a hypothesis about how things occur. Without supporting facts, an explanation might just as well be false as true. You gave no supporting facts for your beliefs about why Buddha did not mention God. My explanation that Buddha did not mention God is because he didn't believe in the Hindu conception of God. Without supporting facts, there's no more reason to believe your 'explanation' than mine. Telling convincing just-so stories is not a means to establishing truth. That's all you're doing, telling just-so stories.
For my money, Buddha was a failed ascetic who decided to form a cult instead of practicing spirituality. Maybe you do follow the same path after all.
