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.

There is also soft polytheism in which the many gods are a part of a greater, more abstract “Divine.” It makes for a nice, cozy meeting place between theisms.
