False god
A false god was an apparent deity or other object of worship which was considered illegitimate.

In 2268, amnesiac James T. Kirk was seen as a god by Amerind inhabitants for reviving a drowned boy by performing cardiopulmonary and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Later, having failed to enter "the Temple" to rouse the temple spirit and stop the storm of wind and thunder, Kirk was seen as a false god by a group of inhabitants who began to throw stones. ()
