A lot of religions (and variants of religions) have a huge diversity of deities or special beings, that people worship somehow, or they ask them for intercession to God. Some examples: Hinduism: Myriad of local deities (devas and devis). Catholicism (Christianity): Saints, Virgin Mary variants. New age groups: Ascended masters and spiritual guides. Basic spirituality: Ghosts and ancestors.
If we become really gods (being god), it is not surprise that they try to worshiping us. We will try to have (as we do now) sane/healthy relationships with people.
