Ah, how-convenient the false-framing..
There have been how many labels for infinity, & it's the LABEL and not the labelled-iNFINITY which is the REALITY??
Shove false-framing.
OceanOfAllAwakeSouls/OriginOfSouls/Brahman/G-D/UnlimitablePrimordiallyPureAWARENESS/AllPermatingBlissfulClearLightAWARENESS/Dzogchen, etc, all are labels for it.
It is itself: it isn't the label.
Scientism's beloved false-framing, straw-man-arguments, gaslightings, pseudo-science "experiments" which are engineered to test something that isn't the true-needing-to-be-tested thing, etc, can all go eat rocks.
Differentiate between the infinity & the label-humans-put-"on"-the-infinity.
( I'm not defending any of the local-gods stuff, I'm ONLY defending the ONE-G-D paradigm, the omni-present omniscient blissful-clear-light G-D, however-approximately-known.
The Muslim term "Lord OF WORLDS" gets at the truth: boundless, infinite.
That they simultaneously insist that it is limited-to-animal-male contradicts their own claim of its beyond-form ( in the Torah ) & it's being truly-infinite, but .. they're human: they're allowed to make mistakes, same as you are. )

Wouldn't be surprised if Hinduism has at least 3000 on its own.
They have the best understanding. The Supreme being is so omnipotent it manifests in many forms depending on the situation
Dawkins expressed the same sentiment as: we are all basically atheists, some just go one god further.
Man, too bad Dawkins and a lot of his ilk turned out to be kinda shitty
There are no perfect people. Wisdom should still be gleaned from wherever it shows itself. The desire people have to place other people on pedestals has never made a bit of sense to me.
Until human-category-sentience, evolution only expresses generation-to-generation.
However, IN human-category-sentience, evolution can be made to happen within an individual life.
IF evolution, THEN perfection is fundamentally-more-possible than people are understanding.
That is what "yoga", meaning "to harness" is all about.

Actually, I think religious people tend to believe that there is one god/creator. They simply disagree on what God dictates.
Buddhism is also a religion.
So is empiricism: it is axiom-based, it is an assumption-river, it holds that contradictory-alternatives are bogus, which they are, etc.

In monotheism, that is correct, but you have to add polytheism into consideration
In polytheism there is usually a god that is the creator, a watchmaker. A Hindu might see Catholicism as being similar to Hinduism in that there a multiple deities with supernatural character, the monotheism/polytheism is a distinction of rather limited use tbf
downvoters gods are real,only theirs
I'm guessing the down voters are reacting to seeing a bigot in their feed.
Yeah, guessing OP is going to trot out Bill Maher next.
Great actor of his time
