All religions can be considered disadvantages when compared to atheistic world view, since religions offer false knowledge about the world, they command people to do bad things, and oppress them without some of them even realising it.
Polytheistic religions have many gods, and monotheistic religions have just one god. If you really want to believe, and you want to have a different god for everything, then choose some of the polytheistic religions.

A monotheistic religion believes in the existence of one supreme deity, while a polytheistic religion believes in the existence of multiple deities or gods. Monotheistic religions, such as Christianity and Islam, emphasize the worship of one god, whereas polytheistic religions, like Hinduism and ancient Greek mythology, involve the worship of many gods.
monotheistic - they believe in one god who controls everything
polythesitic- they believe in many gods, who often control diiiferent aspects of life

An individual who is polytheistic worships many gods, giving equal weight to the worship of each one. It is common in this particular form of worship to have a "father" god, a "mother" god and assorted familial relationships within the unit. Ancient religions such as those practiced in Greece and Rome were polytheistic. The theory behind this type of worship is that each god controls a certain aspect that is beyond a person's control, but not beyond the god's control. Thus we have Mercury, for example, controlling healing and swiftness in the Roman pantheon. The monotheist worships one god, period. In his worship, there is only one deity, generally named directly. Various religions have named this one primary deity in their own language. This god rules over all aspects of creation, and will usually have a set of rules that pertain to the religion. Examples of polytheistic worship today is Hinduism and Shintoism. Examples of monotheistic worship today is Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
