I absolutely love that quote by Sir Terry Pratchett It’s how I feel about the Gods. In general, when talking to people that aren’t pagans or polytheists, we use the word “believe” – but I don’t believe the Gods exist. I know they exist.
I love Neil Gaiman’s disclaimer in American Gods.
“Furthermore, it goes without saying that all of the people, living, dead and otherwise in this story are fictional or used in a fictional context. Only the gods are real. ”
(On a side point, I’ve always wondered who the otherwise are )
He considers undead like us to not count among those already listed.

Not dead this is normal
Yes! I love that, too! I loved listening to the book - I think I want to get the physical book for my bookshelf, too. I wish I could watch the show, but I turned it off after the first episode the first scene with Bilquis was very, very overdone in the show.
Well… In the book… spoilers ahead → Shadow’s wife, Laura, would technically become a revenant - not quite living but not quite dead, either. So, she would be considered an “otherwise”, I think.
@MeganB Yes I read the scene where she meets Shadow. I’m with you on the TV series, I didn’t get past episode one either.
