Keeping 'small g' gods in mind, I would say a very long-lived being with superhuman powers that is or was worshiped or placated and that is identified with one or more aspects of nature, humanity, or society. This allows for gods that are depicted as growing old (like Marduk) or being killed (like Baldur) but distinguishes them from most supernatural creatures, although there is some overlap with lesser spirits like demons of disease that are placated with offerings.
