Absolutely - not sure where the idea ‘it’s all about gods’ comes from? @Mattie1711 can you expand on your point?

If we’re expanding gods to the rest of 7’s run, let’s take a look:
Time and the Rani → the BBC/the Rani → not a god.
Paradise Towers → the Rezzies/the Caretakers/killer cleaning robots/Computer with the Great Architect’s brain → not gods
Delta and the Bannermen → the Bannermen → not a god
Dragonfire → Mr Kane/Sabalom Glitz → not gods
Remembrance of the Daleks → multiple factions of Daleks/racism/bigotry → not gods
The Happiness Patrol → Helen A/Fifi/fascism → not gods
Silver Nemesis → Cybermen/Nazis/Lady Peinforte/the Silver Nemesis itself → none of those are gods
The Greatest Show in the Galaxy → the BBC/clowns/clown robots/The Gods of Ragnorak → gods & clowns
the Movie → in the section he was in, the Master/thugs in an alley/the health industry
So, I guess we’re talking 2/3 gods in 7’s entire run?

Honestly, the BBC should have been listed under Survival, too. With three occurrences, I think they are the 7th Doctor’s most faced enemy…

“Doctor Who fans make sweeping generalisation that doesn’t actually hold up to any scrutiny when facts are examined” shocker!

The Gods of Ragnarok call themselves gods, but that could just be ego. I never took them to actually be gods.

I think more often than not Doctor Who seems to go with the stance of there not really being gods, but more things with lots of power and those with significantly less may see them as gods. I think this Captain Pike quote from Star Trek: Discovery is relevant.
"In the 20th century, Arthur C. Clarke said that ‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’
The law was debated by scientists and theologians alike, and later reinterpreted to say: ‘Any sufficiently advanced extraterrestrial intelligence is indistinguishable from God.’"

Maybe the way Sylvester McCoy says “Ragnarok” was leading me to assume they were actually gods…

Rolled Rs means actual gods, good to know.

Pretty sure that was in Doctor Who long before Star Trek got its grubby Star Fleet hands all over it…

Also Ragnarok being related to Norse mythology.

To my knowledge Doctor Who hadn’t, at least by quote, but I could be wrong.

To be pedantic, Tennant also features in Series 1

The Daemons touches on it. I’m sure someone says it but it might be in a book or audio.
