"But Gods nonetheless..."
The Bible never uses capitalization for other gods. And of course the Bible acknowledges that there are other gods, such as those worshipped by all the pagans around ancient Israel.

The Bible never uses capitalization for other gods. Apologies. I have been beaten up so may times for not using (H)e, (H)im, and (G)od, that I now do it by rote.

The Bible never uses capitalization for other gods. The original language of the OT did not use capitalization. The initial English translators were all Christians, so it would be obvious they would capitalize "God" and not capitalize "gods" (except when the god's proper name is used, such as "Baal").
So basically, your point is meaningless.
