I like to say I’m a polyatheist (note the a) rather than [mono]atheist. I disbelieve in many gods, not just in one big god. Regular monotheism is hedgehoggy, regular polytheism is foxy. Disbelief inverts this. Atheism is foxy, polyatheism is hedgehoggy.
There aren’t many places in the world where you can experience proper polytheistic cultures/belief systems. They’re different. Saints/angels give Christianity a bit of polytheistic flavor but it’s not the same as full-blown polytheism. It’s like hybrid of monotheism and animism.

Hm, what are the deities used for? If they are seen as somethings that influence the world somehow, then the general argument stands the same. Otherwise i have no idea.

Complicated
Physics today is in 2 pieces (quantum mechanics and general relativity) but most of us think there’s 1 GUT out there right?
What if instead it were 100 patch theories which cannot be unified for deep reasons? - 5 more replies
