>> It’s widely known that Corporations are People
Really? Businesses and governments can be legal entities, and legal entities need not be people.
In case of Hindu deities, temples have properties, just like how the Crown has properties in England. A temple property is usually managed by a Trust, but the property is considered to belong to the deity.
This concept is called legal personhood:

When it's not a natural person (ie, a human being) it's called a juridical person:

"Person" is in this usage a piece of legal jargon.
