just because everything emanates from one singularity doesn't mean Gods can't be distinguished from each other. Just like humans can be distinguished from each other.
Polytheism leads into monotheism as the deities mix and mingle. When the essence of the divine becomes oneness in totality, the One True God is produced.

Not to mention Prometheus shook the whole of Mount Olympus by creating men and almost giving them the power to overthrow the gods. Greek gods are so stupid they can't stop the cycle of revolution despite their having done it themselves to the Titans.
Because of the Bane of Abrahamic "Monotheism", Polytheism is slowly being transformed into Henotheism. It may take decades to reverse this, but it will happen. Xtianity is slowly dying, though they still have a lot of momentum left. They've simply lost their Mysteries, and there's nothing left to them because every loudmouthed yahoo ignoramus already "knows" what they are!

Every time you look at the Sky and think: this is sacred. A river, a mountain, an animal, an emotion, and yes, even a person (demigod) you are a polytheist. Monotheism is only valid when you realize all is one, and nothing is sacred. But if nothing is sacred, then neither is God.
Cucksinanity = FUD monopoly monotony. It's not true, nor reality, nor light, it's just fanaticism and book burning. People who burn books will soon graduate to burning humans (and did). It's all at the shallow end of the wading pool where the kiddies are!
Polytheism offers many more good choices than bad. Mystery and adventure along with occultism and magick. It's an Adult Swim...
The problem with polytheism is that, conceptually, it leaves itself open to the notion of an ultimate god. The stronger meme is the one whose narrative can encapsulate other narratives. In a polytheistic system, is is still possible for one to conceive of a god which is more potent than all others, which has all of their abilities, exceeds them in scope, and is responsible for creation. In a monotheistic system, that god is ultimate, and conceptually immune from any idea or meme which is superior to it, because the ultimate god by definition is the most superior, most powerful, most righteous, etc. In other words, you can do away with the idea of a god of storms, god of farming, god of prosperity, etc, by simply conceiving of one god that has dominion over those facets of existence, and all others. This god is conceptually superior and cannot be overcome from a memetic perspective.
elaborate.
Samuro Kun you must fight the evil empire to protecc the Kawaii fox deity of the river
op is literal mudblood(probably Irish) who cannot comprehend that individual entities in a pantheon are all emanations of one being

will we ever revert back to full polytheism?

polytheism = demon worship
monotheism = truth, reality, and light
Cucksinanity = FUD monopoly monotony. It's not true, nor reality, nor light, it's just fanaticism and book burning. People who burn books will soon graduate to burning humans (and did). It's all at the shallow end of the wading pool where the kiddies are!

You can play with the devils. I’m going to follow the straight line.

Mono = my love.
Poly = prostitute.
What's the name for when people go to the Christian Church and engage in Christian rites but hold polytheistic theological thought?
