I'm agnostic so this is a question I see all the time and I also had this same question. Whenever people talk about Polyathiestism it's mainly just bullying. Nobody really tries to understand the complexity of Polyathiestism. As I try to learn about different religions I also see how people judge Polyathiest religions based of their previous biasedness. It's less about how this certain Polyathiest religions function and more about the how close these religions are to their monoethiestic religions. They don't judge the religion completely unbiased. They infact judge it through their monoethiestic views. These are judged less by resources and logic and more by 'my monoathiestic religion said so'. On top of that most religions people are monoethiestic so them bullying and pushing narratives is seen more. Monoethiests don't agree with eatchother and think others will burn in hell in worst case senerios but then they'll push every bit of their differences away and be united against polyathiestism. They say "it just doesn't make sense!" But their idea of sense is only biased to their religion. They are not trying to find polyathiest religions that make sense to them rather it's more like "it's just not close to my religion". The theologies that Polytheiests believe are reasonable to me. I might not belive in anything but I still understand what they are saying. Well your experience?

Tittle. I would like to know more about diff religions.

Hi there, I wonder in how far it is possible to be an "agnostic hard polytheist" i.e my own pantheon of gods would include hellenistic, norse and egyptian deities while still considering them distinct beings, because at the end of the day I cannot know for sure if they are distinct or just the same beings under different names. Hence in my eyes it makes more sense to stick to treating them as separate, just in case. I have been following Christianity for some time now, but I am generally a person who likes to explore and jump around between faiths a bit. I haven't truly found my spiritual home yet I feel.

To me, I feel like if I view Hellenism as my religion, i.e a polytheistic religion, than I have to accept or include other polytheistic religions as well into the pantheon. Because if not, then it would feel like Hellenism would try to claim it's the "one true religion", which afaik, it does not.

The only thing of friction is of course how to reconcile all the different ideas and concepts, especially concerning the afterlife. I guess that's why the "agnostic" term is so important to me because I feel like trying to reconcile everything would just drive me mad. Any advice on this?
