Of course alicorns aren't gods, and it's nowhere said that they're supposed to be. However, they *are* as close to gods as it gets; this is demonstrated both by their power and by the ponies' reverence to them ("as Celestia is my witness"). By that standard, the various supervillains (Chrysalis, Sombra, Discord, Tirek) are also "almost-gods".
