Gods (as aliens) were a recurrent theme in TOS.
Remember Apollo. Or... what does god need with a starship?
Thats a good point I hadn’t considered, it’s been a while since I watched TOS.
But I would argue that especially the latter was more a lesson that superhuman powers don’t constitute a god, whereas DS9 seems to be a lot less critical in their depiction of the bajoran belief system and the wormhole aliens / prophets.
