The belief in many gods and goddesses is called polytheism. It is a common feature of many ancient religions, including Greek, Roman, and Hindu polytheism. Each deity is often associated with specific aspects of life or the natural world.
This is called polytheism! If you are interested in this read up on the Hindu religion, or any of the pagan/neo-pagan religions which believe in all sorts of gods, demigods and deities.
They both worshipped multiple gods, and were the same gods with different names, ie. Poseidon=Neptune, Zeus=Jupiter.
All gods are real to their own followers, but may be considered false to followers of other gods. So, the concept of 'false gods' is, to some extent, a theological one. The more intolerant religions may call the gods of other religions 'false', while those religions that practise tolerance merely say, "we do not believe in that God (or those gods)."
No, but then all the major religions make the same claim for their god(s). The difference in other religions is that the Greeks had many gods, most modern religions have only one.
Branches of Buddhism and Hinduism are non-monotheistic religions . Non-monotheistic religions are mostly older religions, for instance, Egyptian, the Romans and Greek Gods; Hinduism would be one of these. There were European religions that were pantheistic, the Norse Gods, the Gods of the ancient British Isles, etc. Buddhism is NOT a religion, it is agnostic about God (they neither affirm nor deny a God or gods.
Unless you are using Gods from actual religions, NO. If you are using Gods from actual religions there all sorts of rules to follow to prevent insulting the followers of that religion.
