From  looking at the amount of religions in the world, how many Gods/Godesses are there?
370004
This is completely unknowable.\nI believe that Norse Gods numbered about a dozen, Egyption were more than a dozen, Greek were considerably more than a dozen.  Hindu has over a thousand documented Gods.  Depending on the sect, Buddhism has one, several, or no Gods.\n\nThe Hebrew, Christian, Mormon, and Muslim Gods can be reliably counted as one since all these religions sprouted from eachother.\n\nI would have to say a rough estimate of 1500 to 2000, but an actual number is completely unknowable when you consider the number of either long dead or alive but undocumented religions.

I have no idea what you mean.\nIf you mean that there are many religions, yes.\nIf you mean there is more of one religion in one area and more of another in another area, yes.

Yes, said he, but just how many gods are there Yajnavalkya?" "Thirty three". "yes," said he, but just how many gods are there, Yajnavalkya?" "One." \n- Brhadaranyaka Upanishad III, IX, I\n\nGod's innumerable forms, and the acknowledgement of His Presence in everything, are an expression of the extraordinary vitality of India's collective imagination down through the ages. \n\nIdol or image is a kind of yantra or a device for harnessing the eye and mind on God. As the Vishnu Samhita puts it:\n\n"Without a form how can God be mediated upon? If (He is) without any form, where will the mind fix itself? When there is nothing for the mind to attach itself to, it will slip away from meditation or will glide into a state of slumber. Therefore the wise will meditate on some form, remembering, however, that the form is a superimposition and not a reality." \n\nYou can never count total number of gods because Hinduism believes God lives in every atom in universe.

FYI I'm a Christian...if you read any history at all, religion has been around since humans became in existence.  Every culture discovered by archeologist's has had some form of a God.  From the ancient Aztecs, ancient Egyptians, and the Mesopotamians. The Majority of humans on this earth (87%) believe in one God or another...their "religion".  It is only the Atheist who do not believe in any power greater than themselves.  Pretty weird.

There were "a thousand gods" or, in some translation, a thousand names of God.  Generally there were a fetility/agricultural god and his wife/goddess in each town with different names, but recognized as cognates.  Kumerbi was the father-god, like Chaos in Rome, but was through myth defeated by Anus, something like Zeus or Jove.  My favorite is Hannahanna, the Mother God.

Well, throughout history, there has been thousands.  Just about every culture had the own gods.  Greeks had over 40 gods, Egyptions had over 60 gods, and those are just the obvious ones.  What about the Inka's, and various American Indian cultures.  Even the middle east before Mohamed brought Allah and Jesus brought Christianity had hundreds of Gods... One for just about everything.  Exact numbers, I don't think any would ever be able to give you that, but I could be wrong, let's see what is posted (other than the Christians who say only one god, and muslims who say only one allah).

Depends on which branch you're talking about.Some worship both the God and Goddess,some worship just the Goddess, some worship the traditional Greco-Roman Gods,some worship the Norse Gods....It's a long list.I need to know which branch of Wicca you mean.\n*Evidently,static nerdling hasn't heard of eclectic Wicca.The poor girl ought to do more research.*

Depends on which religion you are talking about, my dear. There are only some 20 or 30 different religious practices in the world, with over 1,000 sects. You'll have to be more specific.\n\nHowever, the basic goal of almost every religion is an effort to become closer to the divine.
