With beings like the actually immortal Eternals (coming soon to the MCU) considered cosmic forces and not deities, it is difficult to define Thor as a god and not an alien or cosmic entity.

Is Thanos immortal or mortal?
Thanos was immortal for a time, when his love, Mistress Death, banned him from entering her realm for a while, which effectively rendered him immortal. No matter how severe the injury, Thanos would always regenerate and avoid death. The ban has since been lifted, meaning that Thanos is mortal once again. And that’s it for today.
What is the difference between Thanos and the Deviants?
They are also humanoid in appearance and are relatives of the Eternals. The Deviants are far more destructive than the Eternals, which is why the two races often clash with each other.
