Hinduism has too many and Buddhism has too few.
Shinto worships many Kami.
Gods in Jain religion are innumerable and the number is continuously increasing as more living beings attain liberation
Baha'i is an offshoot of Islam.
Sikh worship one God- V?higur??is formless, eternal, and unobserved

Hinduism has hundreds, but all are aspects of the supreme deity, Brahman. Baha'i has one God, the same as that of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Buddhisms, Jainism, Sikhism and Shinto don't have gods.

The Supreme Being in Hinduism is Brahman. The trinity is the dual aspects of Brahma/Saraswati, Vishnu/Lakshmi and my beloved Shiva/Parvati. Vishnu and Lakshmi have various manifestations/avatars, as does Parvati. Shiva and Parvati have two sons, one being Lord Ganesha who is worshiped before any of the others.
Incidentally, Hinduism is the only religion that recognizes the necessity of a female Divine form - the male aspect would be nothing if it weren't for the female counterpart.
Hope this has helped.

Buddhist.

In Buddhism, there is a vast difference between Gods, and Superior Beings that have attained liberation and enlightenment.

People say there are no gods in Buddhism but this is not correct. In Samara, the uncontrolled cycle of death and rebirth, there are 3 realms: desire realm, form realm, and formless realm. Each realm has several different levels, and the living beings that inhabit them are not free from suffering, nor do they have control over their death and rebirth in other realms of Samara. There are Gods of the desire realms, form realms, and formless realms.

Buddhas, Superior Bodhisattvas, and Hinayana Superiors are not Gods, nor are they trapped in Samara.

Although certain lineages or sects of Buddhism may not teach these things, Buddha Shakyamuni (Siddhartha Guatauma) did teach extensively about the various realms and its inhabitants. If a lineage doesn't teach about these things, it isn't because it wasn't taught by Buddha, but that they have left out those teachings in their presentation.
