My base theory is that. The gods were just magical entities. That came into reality aka creation in different forms at different times. When a specific type of tribute was made around them, it increased their already strong powers. So they built religions in certain parts of the world to gain more tributes.

But I have another theory. That some of the gods might be the result of practices of magic, creating one indirectly with powerful magic. They would be similar to the Tupla concept. But different in power and in personality. And becauses a god might appear as the result of using magic. The practitioners might start a faith, around that God.
