That is the dictionary. Look up God in any dictionary and you'll see that it says something along the lines of "one Supreme Being, the Creator and Ruler of the universe, usually worshiped".
That's a pretty limited way of thinking of and defining God! Even the notion that there's only one God (with a capital 'G') is a pretty recent 'innovation' in the grand scheme of things. For hundreds of thousands of years humans had variously no god, many gods, and belief in many entities that can't be neatly codified in English. Even the earliest references I can find to monotheistic religions (dating back to the earliest Jews and one Egyptian pharoa that declared there to be only one God) only
worshipped one god, but it was understood even by them that there were others. Early adherents to the Pentatuke/Torah felt that gods could only be addressed and heard while you in their own lands. Eventually over time Western religions evolved to the point that they asserted only one diety exists at all. but that's only one point of view, and at least half the world doesn't share it.
