Interesting view, similar to one shared by some Hindu mystics,who are monotheists AND believe in all Hindu gods. Their view is there is only one god,Brahma.All other gods are manifestations of aspects of the godhead.. It's also possible to be a Hindu and an atheist.(there are far fewer original ideas in Buddhism than often thought. This is perfectly fine; there are none in Christianity)
I do not believe in any god(s) due to lack of evidence. I remain open minded; I will believe immediately someone produces some evidence. This position differs greatly from that of many believers,who have the uncanny ability to ignore any evidence which contradicts dogma. I especially admire the depth of this ability in new earth creationists and other froot loops. The Catholics are more pernicious,but less obvious,being arse deep in Jesuitical sophists who help them justify the unjustifiable. (protecting pedophile priests, banning condoms as a safeguard against AIDS,stem cell research, that kind of thing)
