As to skier's original proposal about a supposed monotheistic religion.....
The Greek gods were anthropomorphised deities....they had powers far greater than humans but - as I recall - didn't have the abilities of the gods of current mainstream religions.
Now, could you picture a religion that only worshipped Zeus and didn't have any other gods in the picture? All that comes to my mind is some type of super-human character that would probably be more suited for comic books. Someone like Superman or Professor X, for example.
I think a monotheistic religion must have a god that is all encompassing. Without all encompassing powers, the 'god' in question seems lacking to me.
Besides, gods in mainstream religions are worshipped for what they do and who they are, not simply because they can flex a lot more muscles than your average human. I think that point was already clearly mentioned.
