If you missed the hint, assume that genocide would disqualify a given diety from this list. Thanks!

A human can no more create a deity than an ant can create a human.

The Gnostic god is a benevolent deity, though he does not have a name, because there was no one before him to give him a name. Jesus simply refers to him as the Father. Because the Father cannot do evil to anyone, he has to work hard and use creative ways to save us from enslavement to Yaldaboath (Yahweh or Jehovah). The Father cannot simply destroy him, because that goes against his nature, so he must work around him instead.

Poe is a belevolent diety - and a human, and being a diety, created himself, and was therefore created by a human.

Any deity created by human beings wouldn't be worth worshipping at all, no matter how benevolent he might be.

Vesta. She was Goddess of the Hearth to the ancient Romans. She protected the home and hearth. She was known as Hestia to the ancient Greeks.

father time, mother nature (at times not to be trifled with), Bacchus, Aphrodite (she's probably caused trouble), Pan is kind in nature but drunk and horny, the messenger god icarus??? wasn't mean but not benevolent either i suppose.
Buddhas not a deity, maybe ganesha, idk how nice he is.
Quetzecoatl is not very nice, Odin is outright violent, that's it i guess.

I think Satan is a benevolent deity, he takes you in even when God doesn't want you.

Umm. The FSM perhaps.
But then again he is punishing us with global warming for not being pirates.
