God Gundam is entirely depicted the way gods are depicted in Buddhist iconography. Pay particular note to the way the fins on its back create the golden halo that Buddhist artwork uses to denote a divine character.
God Gundam is also born from a giant red lotus, for ****'s sake, and grows stronger by meditating. It's a Buddhist deity incarnate as a robot, part of the long tradition (going back to Mazinger Z) of robots being treated as incarnate gods.
...Then why not name it Buddha Gundam instead? Or would that be just as offensive?
