I think people who see the Buddha as a supernatural force are misconstruing the teachings. I actually consider Buddhism a subcategory of atheism, as well.... or maybe more Humanism or something, because it's really not about "a higher power". Many people do venerate the Buddha, but not as some kind of omnipotent being, more as you'd have high respect for a wise person...
At least that's my take on it, and why I have a lot more appreciation and respect for Buddhism as a whole.
That and I've never been condemned to everlasting damnation by a Buddhist.
