Remember the Ori plotline from Stargate? The ascended energy beings who liked to larp as gods? A big part of the plot was trying to convince people that the Ori were not gods. But….when they can literally bring the dead back to life it’s a hard message to sell. One of the defining quotes was something like “what are gods except being of great power?” From that perspective, even to technologically advanced humans the Ori are, in fact, gods. What else do you call energy beings who exist on a higher dimension who are omniscient and who casually do absurd magic tricks? Maybe if you were an ascended energy being too you with vastly more brain power and observational capability you’d be able to understand how the magic works so it’s not actually magic from your perspective. But a human might as well be a god to a an ant from its very narrow viewpoint and limited cognitive ability.
