By declaring the ‘many’ you distinguish one from another. So, any one becomes limited by how it is not the others. That is in contradiction to the unlimited qualification.

"beyond the limitations of the temporal entities of creation and without the limitations of time, and space"

Nope. I don't see why many Gods couldn't have these very same qualities. Maybe reducing the Gods to one is just a step in the natural progression to NO God, no superstitions?


============================

”Maybe reducing the Gods to one is just a step in the natural progression to NO God, no superstitions?”

Our active existence is dependent on the ongoing presence of mystery. One man’s superstition is another man’s theory.

If you conclude that belief in one of the many is unqualified, and you deduce that worshipping anyone is just as unfounded as worshipping any of the many, you can put them all into one category and conclude that they are all unworthy.

However, if you begin with the perception of One that is not of the many you are bound by a different rationale.
