The Sun and Princess Celestia have both been thought of as nearly mythological entities by the ponies of Equestria.

Twilight Sparkle read a book that mentioned a possible church named Notre Dame. The city of Canter Creek had a reverend named Blazing Saddle. Another religions place, Leaning Tower of Pisa was depicted in Grogar's instagram selfies.

Ponies know what gods are, and referred to Discord as a god on at least one occasion.

"I guess since I'm a princess and a brand new deity I should perform some miracles or place some minds at ease But I never had a plan for this, much to my dismay, So I'll just tell my subjects that it all will be okay!" — Twilight Sparkle in "The Last Alicorn Princess"

In several fan circles and fanfictions Alicorns are synonymous with gods and deities, some going as far as stating that Princess Celestia was the divine force who created the universe, multiverse, or whatever. Some fanfictions tend to compare the Alicorns to entities like the God Emperor of Mankind from the Warhammer franchise.
