[Ghostbusters] Why did Gozer ask the Ghostbusters if they were gods?

To what end would this question have served her?

Ray had just ordered her to leave.  She was asking to determine whether she was trespassing in the realm of another deity.  If she found out she was, it would affect her next choice of action.

She may have challenged the new god for dominion over this world, fled to avoid a fight, or proposed some kind of alliance - we can't really know.
