** In the Bible itself, the Israelites are said to have repeatedly started to turn to the gods of their neighbors for various reasons. It's never said that they ''stopped'' worshipping [=YHWH=], and indeed they probably just started considering him TopGod of a pantheon, but putting pagan gods on equal level to Him was just as blasphemous, and tended to result in him withdrawing his support and the Israelites getting their asses kicked until the next prophet would get them back into shape.

* While the many beings of [[Myth/AboriginalAustralianMyths indigenous Australian religions]] can technically be considered gods and almost all cultures acknowledge the existence of multiple agents at work, worship usually is/was retricted to one or a few. For example the Gamilaraay worshipped Baiame and nowadays compare him to the Judaeo-Christian god, considering him more sacred than the other supernatural beings, but the latter still existed and were cause for concern/wonder. The Yuin by contrast revere/d Daramulum, which to the Gamilaraay was a relatively minor child/brother of Baiame.
