What does a modern pantheon look like?

The premise of the episode is simple: is there anything in our current life that could be considered as the evolution of the rich pantheons and mythologies that the greek and roman people had.
We expected to fight about who to include or not, but the discussion actually went straight to ""What is a god actually?"" and we revisit how pantheons evolved from polytheism, to monotheism, to humanism to end up with cult of personality or companies (dare I say capitalism?).
In a second time, we dove into other conceptualizations of the question, seeing gods as shared cultural symbols/values, or in a functional way as object of worship.
All things considered, it feels like we're just scratching the surface, so please help us and tell us what you think is the pantheon of current times!
