Gods, even for those who believe in them, tend not to be supernatural. A god isn't over nature or in nature and beyond nature. It -is- nature. When a god blows, that's the wind at work.
If we detect anything that is super natural the "super-" prefix instantly drops away and it is added to the set of natural things.
In the same way, if we detect something in a parallel universe the "parallel" cancels out and it is instantly considered part of this universe.
You can't detect supernatural things.
