The Hebrews certainly appear to have had a number of goddesses :

Also interesting is:

If, as it seems, that Judaism originated from the Canaanites, then they were certainly polytheistic.
Some fascinating history here:

Seems that Yahweh started life as a local weather god before becoming the Supreme God, not necessarily the only one, but head of all gods.
There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron.
