The question you are asking here is, essentially, whether or not there exists an actual being ala "god" at least recognizable as such enough to use the term but different enough to be considered an actual being whereas the others are fantasy.
One might ask, why call this "plausible god" (still wondering how we would determine plausibility) a god at all?
(to me, mental masturbation is creating a "question" -which exists only in ones own mind- so that you might find an "answer" -which exists only in ones own mind-. If you want to talk gods and yet simultaneously toss out everything we do know about gods you are merely attempting to create a set of attributes that are "plausible" and then relabeling that set of attributes a "God". You're mulling over a list of attributes, not a god.)
