If with Bob Price is right in his assertion that Sam Harris is a Buddhist. You could be a Buddhist and not believe in the existence of a god or any-kind of afterlife at the same time. Susan Blackmore could be considered a Buddhist (she is a practitioner of Zen) as well and she once (she has recanted of that belief) regarded religion as a mind virus.
However a lot of Buddhists believe in things such as reincarnation. Not to mention the existence of some kind of higher power, also along with believing in the existence a god or gods. For example in places like China, Korea and Japan people have practiced both Buddhism and local religions
