Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).

Sep 15, 2013

If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves. The permanent with that ability will be counted if it's still on the battlefield at that time.

Sep 15, 2013

Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.

Sep 15, 2013

Numeric mana symbols ({0}, {1}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.

Jan 24, 2020

As a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color will determine whether any replacement effects that affect creatures entering the battlefield apply to that God. Because replacement effects are considered before the God is on the battlefield, the mana symbols in its mana cost won't be counted when determining this.

Counters put on a God remain on it while it's not a creature, even if they have no effect.

Jan 24, 2020

If a God is attacking or blocking and it stops being a creature, it will be removed from combat. It won't rejoin combat if it resumes being a creature later during that combat.

Jan 24, 2020

If a God stops being a creature, it loses the type creature and the creature type God. It continues to be a legendary enchantment.

Jan 24, 2020

If an effect causes a God to lose all abilities, its ability that causes it to stop being a creature still applies if appropriate.

Jan 24, 2020

The abilities of Gods function as long as they're on the battlefield, regardless of whether they're creatures.

Jan 24, 2020

The type-changing ability that can make a God not be a creature functions only on the battlefield. It's always a creature card in other zones, regardless of your devotion to its color. It's always a creature spell while it's on the stack.

Jan 24, 2020

When a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color (including the mana symbols in the mana cost of the God itself) will determine if a creature entered the battlefield or not for abilities that trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield.
