I agree, gods do exist, in a sense. In the field of abstract concepts. One per theist (mostly), in their mind. And in general, they are indeed powerful because of the hold they have over that theist. They can even drive them to murder or suicide in extreme cases.
Can all of these gods be said to meaningfully map to one single being, somewhere? No. They're all too different. It would have to either be some massive compromise, or leave most people with a completely wrong "God" in their head.
But, you know, if something very unusual and relatively powerful showed up, you can bet your bottom dollar most theists would point and say, "I meant that!"
