The problem is that "god" is such a convenient shorthand for "powerful otherworld being," which I suspect most Malkioni would agree with (with the caveat of adding some sort of negative adjective). There *are* no other gods than the Creator.
Some Malkioni might say that the "gods" are servants of the Invisible God, or some weird sort of lesser aspect of Him, or simply beings placed in Glorantha for us to make use of. But they are not in the same category at all (despite the similarity of the descriptive term).
