If they were considered gods there would likely be no scene.

Definitely wouldn't say it is a pure form of programming. The demoscene is on the one hand about community and on the other about producing something. Pureness doesn't really fit into that too well. I would probably even say that the scene has a bias towards the unpure. Just like a lot of other scenes, like in music.
