Before proliferating gods everywhere - you should understand that to the ancients the number 3 symbolized abstract Divinity. We may have lost this context in our modern thinking - but it carries over even today. For example - Christians believe in a Trinity of God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. The divinity of God expressed as a Triad or Trinity.

Here as some more including the ones you requested:

Sumerian - Enki, Enhil, An
Abydan - Osiris, Isis, Horus
Zoroastric - Ormazd, Mithras, Ahriman
Hindu - Brahma, Vishnu (or Rama), Shiva [1]
Grecian - Zeus, Poseidon, Hades
Roman - Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto (recently demoted;-)
Platonic - Tagathon, Nous, Psyche
Aztec - Vitzliputsli, Kaloc, Tescalipuca
Buddhist - Dharmakaya (the body of ultimate reality), Sambhogakaya(the body of joy), Nirmanakaya(the human body)[2]
Judaism - He Who was, Who is, Who always will be; Three Heads of the Holy Ancient.[3]
Muslim - Essence, Creator, Creatures
Baha'i - One God, His Holy Spirit, His Manifestations

I'll leave it as an exercise for you to understand how these are different and yet the same.

Hinduism has like 200 differnt Gods...Vishnu is the God of War...Ganesh is the God of wisdom I think...but they all are dieties of personality triats if you will. Shiva...and Brahman are a couple of others as well...and Krishna.....all have back stories on how they became gods of what they became gods of.

Judism is the Jewish Faith..they believe in GOD Better known to them as Yah*Weh I think. (it is pronounced Yah*Way). I don't know if they so much s worship But they I do speak of Moses and Abraham and such. They do not believe Jesus is the Savior and the Messiah that the "Tora" (Old Testament) speaks of. Yahweh is translated to "I AM". he is the same God Christians pray to as well as the Muslims.

Buddism doesn't have a diety to pray to per sey...Buddah is someone who has reached total enlightenment....The most famous Buddah however, is Sidartha...he was the prince and in line for the throne to be King Of India I believe...he is the one they believe is the first to reach total enlightenment. He is the one who witnessed the four passing truths (Monastic order, Death, Suffering, and old age) the four things that will happen to a person.

So look up Sidartha on Google, and Yahway, and Vishnu and Ganesh...

The Supreme Personality of Godhead in Gaudiya Vaisnavism, which is the "personalist" school of thought within Hinduism is Sri Krishna, Krishna means "all attractive".

Buddhism is atheistic or voidistic, the Buddhist do not accept that there is a God.

In Judaism, which is also a "personalist" school of thought, the Jewish tradition refers to God as Yahweh or Jehovah, Jehovah means "the great judge'.

The same God is known by many names, the name normally refers to a particular quality of God, for example the name Allah means "the greatest", Govinda means "he who gives pleasure to the senses",etc etc

Hinduism:
Hinduism has many different gods, each governing a different aspect of life. Some of the better known are Shiva and Vishnu. However, like all religions there are many different forms of Hinduism, some believe that there is only one God, but that one god takes many different forms.

Buddhism:
In the main context it does not have a true god, but is based on the life and teachings of Siddhartha Gautama. Again, like all religions there are different forms of the religion and different beliefs some view Gautama to be a God.

I don’t know what Judasim is but I think you may be referring to Judaism, in that case.

Judaism:
The Jews have the same God as Christians and Muslims. It is like a tree, first there was Judaism which makes up the foundation (or trunk), then Christianity branched off of Judaism, Then Islam branched off Judaism.

I hope a Hindu will help me here although I am a Christian that studied the existence of other dieties,...Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, three Gods that must have been copied by Roman Catholics that stand for The Creator, The Preserver and the Destroyer.. Goddess Ganesha is also a deity for them that gives the help they need. she is embodied in a lavishly decorated Elephant... The Buddhist have Lord Buddha as the enlightened one and regarded as their to the path to Nirvana. Judaism's God is Yahweh, the same God of the Muslims they call Allah and the Christians normally call God.
Why don't you google it so you could be more informed?

Hinduism and Buddhism don't have creator Gods.

Buddhists follow in the footsteps oh Buddha on the road to inner enlightenment known as Nirvana.

Jews worship the same God as Christians.

Hinduism is the strive to achieve Dharma. They believe in Karma and reencarnation.

Judasims God is the same as the Christian God without the new testament.Judasim = Jew. Jesus was a Jew. For Buddism it is the teachings of Buddah I think, No God involved,they try to reach enlightenment or Nirvana.The Hindus are a bit more complicated . The only one I am quite sure about is being Jewish.

Judaism is Yahweh or god...same as the christian faith...Buddhism is enlightenment in its original form therefore there is no god, there is release. Hinduism which you put is a very large and old religion with 1,000s of gods of which Vishna, Brahama, Shiva, and many more are very popular...but you cannot put that in the context of Western religion or you'll mess it up. Best of luck.
