Hinduism being polytheistic and Buddhism being non-theistic seems more basic.

They also differ notably in their understanding of deities--not necessarily their existence (this is a common misunderstanding of Buddhism that, again, is only arguably true of certain strands of Theravada. Most Mahayana and Vajrayana sects are very much polytheistic in the crude sense), but where they stand in the cosmic league tables, as it were.

Dont understand the last sentence.
