The question of whether a person believes in gods has little to do with the specific characteristics of any one god. Like people, gods are very different from each other. This doesn't saddle us with any ambiguity as to whether or not people are people. People are not made incoherent by our difference or disagreement.
Our ability to discuss why we don't believe in gods, not just a specific god, demonstrates that there's no incoherence that a plurality of gods can reduce the subject matter to.
