Zeus = god, none of those "figures" are gods. And from the examples I have given, you know that Dalai Lama would count because you know what kind of "figure" he is in his religion and that is comparable to the other figures I have provided.
No, I have no way of knowing that. Because you have not provided a definition. You've provided examples. I could come up with many possible definitions to fit those examples.
If the definition you have in mind is so clear, it should be easy to add it to the question.
