You don't believe in supernatural magical type god, but you value somethings, and god is always been a battle of terminology of the height and peak of value, polytheists despite claiming they believed Creator was higher, use the word for lesser beings because they want to equate and down play the unique position of God as far as valuing goes and loving goes and not to take the notion that we value ourselves as much or more then God seriously.
Whatever is at the peak at the value, and all things close to that, is your god(s).
It never meant what you say it meant, or else, people would not have attributed born creatures the position of divinity.
What is your God? You see, you feel ashamed already with the notion you have a god other then the Absolute being. That is because your nature is upon inclining to the oneness of God.
Just because something has worth or value does not make it a god. No matter how you try to spin that, there is no exclusivity between value, worth and any god.
I value my children. Are they gods? Nope. Nice try tho, but you'll score no points for moving your goal posts to fit your narrative.
I do not subscribe to a god or gods. It really is that simple. But thanks for attempting to tell me how I think.
