[Halo] If the Covenant saw the Forerunners as their gods, how did they see the Precursors?

They didn't know the Precursors even existed. No species in modern Halo did until after the human-Covenant and even then it's only a few people in ONI it would seem. As far as the Covenant was concerned they ascended to Godhood and no species had ever been above them before that. To them, the Forerunners were the apex of technological achievement.
