Who Are Gods? And How Do They Shape Our lives?

Right from worshipping different forces of nature, to dedicated gods and goddesses for dedicated fields of life.
Before the rise of monotheistic religions, we had ancient civilizations which had huge pantheons of such gods. Right from Egyptians to the Greeks, and Mayans to the Hindus.

Gods Are The OG Influencers
Our life is a series of choices we make and the consequences we face.
From Self to Civilization.
Across the 5 levels of Decision Making (Self, Team, Society, Nation-State, Civilization), there are many forces which influence the choices we make.
Right from the clothes we wear, to the wars we fight.
Some of these forces are short lived (like the fashion of wearing baggy jeans), but some forces are almost eternal.
And gods & goddesses of different cultures and different societies are one such eternal force, which shape a lot of our decisions.
Maybe that's the reason they're called gods?
