noun
noun: God; noun: god; plural noun: gods; plural noun: the gods
1.
(in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
synonyms: the Lord, the Almighty, the Creator, the Maker, the Godhead;
Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh;
(God) the Father, (God) the Son, the Holy Ghost/Spirit, the Holy Trinity;
the Great Spirit, Gitchi Manitou;
humorousthe Man Upstairs
"a gift from God"
2.
(in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.
Those are the objective definitions. I'm not giving subjective leeway to people to define what constitutes a god any more than I'd give subjective leeway to people to define what constitutes a road or a fruit or a building. Some may WANT to, but we're a social species based on communication, and if you want a word or meaning to exclusively have definition according to your own whims...well, then, you're opting out of communication and your ideas are no longer communicable.
Even your own link posits, in the second denotation, a very vague concept that you'd be hard-pressed to definitively disprove. Do you want to pretend that it's that cut-and-dried?
