Compare the ancient Greeks with the monotheists, like the Christians of Europe after the fall of Rome and before the enlightenment, or with some of the Islamic countries, and you will see that it isn't the number of gods that is relevant to the question. "A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence." — David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section X, Part I.
