I tend to get confused about the technicalities, probably due to Mormon anti-everyone-but-us propaganda but some branches of Christianity decided god was actually 3 of them with the weirdest backtrack eat your cake and have it too "actually it's still that but also just one guy". There's branches that pray to magical saints, Mary the mother of gesus, and angels(how are they not gods? They are powerful enough to appeal to and intervene on your behalf. Why not skip the middleman and just pray to the singular god if he's supposedly the ultimate one? Or are these mutants actually mini gods and the religion actually has lots of them?).
So, I dunno. I think sometimes the terminology can get fuzzy for deliberate usage in manipulation. If I'm a theist Christian and praying to god for help and "talking aloud to my dead grandmother to guide me and watch over me in a time of need" are functionally the same how is it NOT placing dead relatives in the pantheon?
