Mostly there is a ton of religion and deific mythology but not a lot of gods made manifest. The stats of a god who does not show up and do stuff themself compared to transcendent remote beings are a bit academic.And when it does happen, a god showing up and interacting, it is hard to evaluate in world. Is the thing that shows up and claims to be a god and fights actually a god? An avatar manifestation? The god itself? Something not a god masquerading as the god? If you kill it that does not even resolve anything, clerics still get their powers from religions even ones based around dead or even false gods. What you killed could have been a god or not.It gives me a bunch of options when "gods" do show up on screen. In my 5e game I had a demigod AI Monster Truck as the boss fight in the second Iron Gods AP module and I was able to pick reskinned 5e stats for a CR monster that worked in the setting and context of my game easily for a climax fight.</blockquote>
