Sun: Since you are interested in such things, have you ever seen any attempt to look at religious ideas referenced to the religion's # of deities (lets call it N)? Are there any interesting patterns related to N that emerge?

We have the following:

N = 0 for Buddhism
N = 1 for Abrahamic religions
N >= 2 for many others.

It also leads to the thought that a good SciFi story might explore N < 0.
