Sanatan Sikhi .. does that mean .. ?

If Sanatan Sikhs continue to believe in and worship Hindu gods, does it follow that there could be Sikhs from other cultures who likewise continue to believe in and worship the gods of their own cultures or their ancestors?

For example, let's say a Greek person who followed reconstructionist Greek religion previously has become a Sikh, could they still believe in Zeus and Hera, etc. and have no conflict just the same as a Sanatan Sikh believes in Hindu gods?

I believe so. It also depends on what Sri Guru Granth Sahib says; it never denied the existence of Hindu deities, it just says even they have limitations. You get Sanatan Sikhs for this reason and because Udasis believe in Hindu God's

Actually I heard there's a minority of Sikhs that still practice Islamic rituals

Hindus have a special relationship with Sikhi. It is not separate yet not the same. All Hindus respect Sikh gurus and many Sikhs too worship Hindu deities. It is an old continuing tradition that some Hindu families will have a son has been made a Sikh in honor of Sikh gurus.

Interesting. That's what I thought. And you're right that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji doesn't explicitly denounce Hindu deities. It sometimes doesn't have very nice things to say about them, but it doesn't condemn anyone for worshipping them.

It says they were non-human beings and/or legendary Kings that were elevated to Godhood. That's what I think.

BECAUSE so many Hindus visit Gurdwara, it's why so many Hindus believe in the Gurus even though Sri Guru Granth Sahib says no to deity or idol worship (for Sikhs anyway).

I don't know how true it is you get Sikhs who still practice Muslim festivals but I wouldn't rule it out. Ahmadiyyaa is the closest I can think of followed by Sufi

I have seen very few Sikhs worshipping Hindu deities. Actually, only one; a Sikh at London Rathayatra chanting "Hare Krishna, Hare Rama". Other than that I don't think ANY Sikhs worship Hindu Gods.
