Which god? Zeus? We can certainly claim that of the mythological character as depicted in the ancient stories about him but we don't particularly believe Zeus exists unless there is evidence he does. If someone came along and claimed that Zeus existed we would say "That's an interesting claim lets see the evidence." and when the evidence for Zeus is presented we can decide whether to believe it or refute it. If the evidence is that Zeus was written about in the Iliad that that doesn't really cut it because we have Harry Potter books these days and they aren't evidence for anything.
