The scriptures have been clear since its inception; there is only One God!
Exodus 20:3-4, “Never have any other god. Never make your own carved idols or statues that represent any creature in the sky, on the earth, or in the water.
Deuteronomy 6:14, "Never worship any of the gods worshiped by the people around you".
Deuteronomy 32:39, “See now that I myself am He! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand".
1 John 4:1-2, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already."
Interestingly, this scriptures applies to many of the events taking place today in our society...
2 Timothy 3:1-5, "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people."
Scholars like Josh McDowell, Lee Strobel and many others have tried to dispel the existence of God. The more they researched, the more they learned that God and Jesus are real and not a fantasy or an allegory.
