I feel that both the comics and the MCU movies present Thor (and Asgard) as a combination of Science and Magic. We have seen definitively in the MCU that magic exists alongside scientific wonders. Asgard is a near perfect fusion of both. Loki, Hela and Thor all wield significant powers that are clearly magical in nature - Loki's "tricks", Hela's - well almost everything Hela does shows her powers, Thor from Ragnarok onwards is shown to have his powers be innate rather than bestowed. I think some of the "tech" - best example being the "scanner" the adgardian healers use on Jane to scan for the Aether - is explained in a technological manner, while the function shown is more mystic. Considering the nature of the 616 AND the MCU I think a blend of science and magic makes perfect sense for Asgard and its denizens.
Same Results, different methods I suppose.
As to being a "god" or not, I believe it is only in the first movie where there are any real denials of deific status from Odin, and I think this might be him being the pathological liar Odin is known to be, as he is in the midst of reprimanding Thor. But later films, particularly Ragnorok, re-establish that Thor IS the God of Thunder, as Hela is Goddess of Death. Even Agents of SHIELD goes out of its way to refer to Lady Sif as a Goddess of War.
