To be a god is to be perceived exactly as you want to be, with no effort to present yourself as anything other than what you perceive yourself to be. Everybody else must solve for appearances. The effort required is a measure of your non-divinity.
That’s one of the many reasons Christianity (and all traditional religions) are basically wrong.

Humans cannot perceive with divine clarity, without divine assistance/exception (e.g. Abraham on Sinai). Must gods by your definition not want to be perceived as they want to present themselves?

I should note you are arguing with a strident atheist so I start from very different basic presumptions about the nature of the so-called divine
