I mean, we could call gravity or the sun a god. It's really a matter of perspective rather than concrete definition. I've discussed my ideas about the void with people, and there tends to be a pretty even split between people who believe it would be a god, and those who believe it wouldn't count.

In Star Wars would you call The Force a god?

I wouldn't, but I could see a really strong argument to be made for it.
