It is not only plausible it is fact. People believed in cave gods and painted them on cave walls. People believed that volcanos were gods. People believed the sun was a god. People believed there gods living on MT Olympus. People thought Thor made lightening.
Modern theists take them to bey legends and myths, but the only difference between superstition then and now is time. The ones believed now will morph and change and or die out, just like the ones in the past.
