The Bible calls the pagan gods Astarte, Baal, Molech, Tammuz etc. gods but they were not my gods or the gods of Israel for the most part but they were gods none the less. The Bible calls Moses, Jesus, angels and judges of Israel gods but they were not gods to Jehovah.I do see what you are saying, other people's gods are just that, other people's and nothing to do with anyone else.
All you really have to do is recognize that there are gods and what that means, not believe in or deify them.
However, when someone uses the word god when talking about their beliefs there is an *implied* supernatural element to what they are saying. At least to my mind there is!

The PC may well have been made by a college dropout in his parent's garage but the reason he could do that is because he was using equipment and components whos operations were worked out from scientific principles by people who came before him.
