Belief in gods is a social practice. The perception of a god is the result of a kind of group hypnosis. Who knows how social practices come into being or why, but once established they are self perpetuating.

Capital G God is the creator, small g gods can include great people of the human race as well as other possible races that God could have created.

Hes the creator?? How so? Please.. elaborate. .
