I think a lot of the confusion for non-Catholics in regards to Mary involves the "Hail Mary". Many non-Catholics look on this as a prayer to Mary, and ergo if one is praying to her then by fiat one must consider her to be devine.

I have many catholic friends who have cleared things up for me, but I think that may be the sticking point for a lot of others.

I think the suggestion of another thread, or maybe just a good explanation of Mary and her role in Catholic Religion would be very enlightening.

Not to be confused of course with Andy DEVINE, who while a god in many ways is certainly not DIVINE ;-)
