A true deity is a deity with or without anyone's belief in them. The only reason for what we know as a "deity" to require stupid rules like "worship me, hold no others above me" would have been to force moronic cave dwellers to try to learn to act in a social civilized manner by fearing retribution if they didn't, the only possible other reason is because they aren't actually a deity and simply another mortal sentient on a power trip because it feels good to be adored and have people terrified at your feet. There really isn't an inbetween, true immortals would find constant worship really fucking boring, so it would need to serve a purpose, the only creatures that would really enjoy being worshipped are mortals that will never live long enough to see how tedious and fucking boring it becomes "oh look, here comes jimothy again with a list of things he did bad, a pile of exotic fruit, and a jingle he made... I hope the jingles funny, I am so damn bored, and I've had all the fruit so many times it's not exotic, just common... Or maybe that's his son danjemin.. Hard to tell, the names changes but the faces..." True immortals would rejoice in the individuals true uniqueness because it would be one of the few things that is mostly fresh per person, they wouldn't care for the most part about things you did wrong because fucking everyone does bad shit, just be your best unique self, and try to do good, cuz everything else is just a fuckin repeating cycle.
Unless it's like in American Gods. ๐คท
It's also like that in Dungeons and Dragons
