just thought I would say that not all ancient religions have strictly polytheistic ideas. Take the Greeks for example, yea there's a whole pantheon, but concerning the fates of mortals, which I think God is mostly concerned with, is controlled by one god and that's Zeus. My proof would be mostly from the Illiad by Homer. Homer says that there are 2 jars on Zeus' doorsill where the blessings and curses of men come from, or something along those lines. If you want to check it I'll give you an actual source later.
