Just as they view heaven & hell as other dimensions that resemble the Biblical concepts and may have borrowed from said concepts or vice-versa.

My issue with that is it doesn't sound like a man who is supposed to accept facts. It sounds like someone who is being deliberately obtuse and playing semantics. They don't like what accepting them what they are would do to their world view so they play word games to get around it. If they accept them as gods then they are gods and they cannot be atheists because they know for a fact gods are real. It would be like Hank Pym saying he does not believe space aliens are real after meeting Skrulls or Kree because he constantly finds ways to deny the truth such as claiming it is all a hallucination, mind control, elaborate ploy, etc. And since Thor and Hercules among others constantly refer to themselves as gods what do their "friends" think of them then? That Thor and Hercules are self-deluded or so egotistical that they actually believe it?
