Well, in the Bible, the Hebrew word is elohim (but we have discussed this already)---which literally translates to "gods" and is used in many ways in the Bible. Elohim is used to denote God or idols or rulers and magistrates...but every time, the word is "elohim"---so the reader must decide based on content what "elohim" is referring to.
So, you use the term "real" God---, but I think of God more of the "true" God---as all others fall short. To me the opposite of false (as in false gods) is true. But you seem to take false to mean fake and therefore, the opposite is real. Yet, then are rulers who God appointed and called "gods' fake gods?
