I saw some ppl asking in the comments so I just wanted to put my interpretation of what it means by calling Trevor a God, feel free to offer other interpretations as well ( ◜‿◝ ). It's established by the other characters that Trevor, although stoic at first, is actually very generous and kind-hearted. He is referred to as a God by those close to him because he offers them salvation. For his mother and father, he brought them happiness when they couldn't have children (and later offered financial support.) It's similar with Gene. When Gene left the Amish and his religion, he lost everything. His community, family, possessions, etc. Trevor once again acted as a savior by taking Gene in and meeting his physical and emotional needs. When Gene says Trevor is his God, it is a declaration of love and gratitude. He is venerating Trevor by saying he is his God (one above all others) and showing how devotedly he adores him. It also could demonstrate that religion no longer has such a stronghold on Gene because he is saying something that is kind of sacrilegious but we'll have to wait and see how the rest of the story unfolds. I think it ultimately is supposed to demonstrate just how purely good Trevor is and play into this story's themes of religion and redemption while being a really beautiful love confession ♡
