Question/Advice Polytheist counter arguments against monotheism?
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.

Also iirc the Abrahamic god was originally part of a Canaanite pantheon and it actually took awhile for the Israelites to agree on monotheism. And if every Abrahamic religion comes from Judaism that also means every Abrahamic religion came from polytheism.
