“You do, you know,” said The Lady. “Everyone has gods. You just don’t think they’re gods.”

    The corpus worship Parvos yes, but that doesn’t mean he is actually worshipped as a god though.

    We can worship our fellow men as just that: extraordinary people who are glowing examples of our species in certain aspects.

    If worship alone would be enough to be considered a god we would be absolutely drowning in gods.

      We are drowning in gods.

      The Japanese worship eight million divine beings. We’ve got about that many too.

          Not everyone worships every god. Most of them are very minor deities, like the god of a particular river. You might worship that kami if you fish in that river or use it for transportation, but not if you live somewhere else. Likewise, I don’t worship Trump or the Kardashians, but many people do.
