Would Zeus? If he does, how about Superman? Spiderman?
What is the minimum requirement for 'godhood'?

Presumably any entity inhabiting a supernatural realm (i.e. not part of the material universe), if such a thing were possible.

A god is any imaginary non-being that large groups of people have believed was such a thing. Zeus, Marduk, Amon, Ra, Asshur, Ahuramazda, Odin, Brahma, Yahweh, Allah, Yu Ti, etc. were considered gods by most Acheans, babylonians, Upper Egyptians, Lower Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, Vikings, Hindus, Hebrews, Moslems, Chinese,etc. Superman has never been considered a god by anyone sane or mature.

Not Atheist.
God means an Entity who is the "Absolute Controller Of Entire Situation At all Points of Time".
No imaginary character, not even NEO Or Smith in Matrix were shown to posess absolute control.
So Just Imagine a Juggernaut like entity who also cannot be contained.

That is one of the problems with talking about God(s). Nobody seems to have a clue about what the heck they are talking about. Define your nonexistant God first, believer, then you will see how ridiculous your belief is.
Your God is hiding in the closet, your gods are under your bed. Leave the night light on so you don't get scared.
Your God is your baseless fear.

A bundle of kerosene-soaked rags tied to a bush can be a "god."
The standard definition of God is a Being omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Of course, none of this actually means anything; it's merely a rhetorical expansion to infinity of some nice-sounding adjectives. Not only that, but it leads to some unwholesome conclusions. If God is all-powerful and all-knowing, for example, then all apologies for the existence of "evil" crash. All the powers of Satan himself can only be powers of God.

Something that actually exists would be a start.

any supernatural imaginary friend.
But comic book superheros probably don't qualify.

I qualify as MY own God.
I think, therefore I AM.
