"You shall have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3)

How could the author speak of "other gods" if the author did not believe in gods other than Yahweh?

The definition of 'god' simply means object of worship, which could mean anything. God is saying he should be number one priority, anything you prioritize over God is your god.

Great spin.  I am so unconvinced.  How about this one:

“Who is like thee, O Lord, among the gods?  Who is like thee, majestic in holiness, terrible in glorious deeds, doing wonders?"  (Exodus 15:11)
