And the concept of "God" and "gods" as used in western culture today is entirely Christian in origin and has nothing to do with pagan Germania or India
Did you even read your own reply before posting it? You can't even keep your back-pedaling straight for three sentences.
If you are talking about the origin of the concept and the word "god", then you are talking about its etymology - which, as it has been demonstrated - is not Christian in nature.
If you are talking specifically about its usage in modern English, then consult a dictionary. You'll find that your notion that the concept is sensible only within Christian theology is ridiculous. Either way, you are wrong.
