According to Christianity (that is where the word God comes from btw), God is an agent whose intentions brought forth and governs the cosmos (everything there is, was, and to be).

The notion of 'gods' derived from the root word God is an oxymoron. If God is the agent whose intentions govern everything, how can there be multiples of such an entity?

The word 'gods' only makes sense within the framework of Christian theology (Islam and Judaism too). The biblical story states that at one time God (the true God, the biblical God) implanted the 'true' religion in the hearts of mankind but over centuries, this 'true' religion got corrupted by the Devil and his minions into many false religions with many false 'gods'.

This is where 'gods' comes from. Outside of the framework of Christian/Islamic/Jewish theology , the word 'gods' doesn't make any sense.
