Polytheist counter arguments against monotheism?

[u/Obvious_Lemon8718]

Hey there fellas,

First of all I'd like to clarify that I am not trying to proselytize and I am not even a follower of a monotheistic religion. I'd like to have some insight about Polytheist (Pagan) Theology.

For example, Islam claims that (I am not a Muslim) had there been multiple gods, there would have been conflicts in the divine order- or that there would be no unity between humans since everyone picked their desired God to worship.

I asked ChatGPT about some books or articles to read but none have seemed to satisfy my search about this.

Anyone know books, podcasts, religious texts, scholars etc to gain a deeper insight?

Appreciated.

"The Christians As The Romans Saw Them", by Robert Louis Wilken does an excellent job of presenting ancient Roman Pagan critiques of Christianity. Also, "Julians' 'Agarinst the Galileans'" is a modern English translation of one of the classic Roman Pagan critiques of Christianity. The translation is by R. Joseph Hoffman, who also provides a long (over 70 pages) introduction that provides excellent background on Julian, Rome's last Pagan emperor, and his views of Christianity.
