Same as Marx. They don't follow him in Germany. We have plenty. The only difference is Marx was bad. Buddha was the great.
And, for your record, Buddha was a great philosopher. He is recognized for that in India/Nepal. He is well respected everywhere, including in Nepal/India. It is just that India/Nepal doesn't have monolithic god system, so we regard him as one of millions. Since we had our own culture long before Buddha, it would take a bit to replace it. In China and other countries, religion has never been as deep rooted as in India/Nepal, and once philosophers there adopted Buddha, it was easier for people to accept him as some kind of god. That's how I interpret the history:)
