There can be as many as you need there to be. God exists for our benefit (after all, we are the ones that dreamed the idea up), not the other way around. It is willing to be whatever you need in order for you to relate and feel warm fuzzies.

If there were multiple "gods" then none of them would truly be God (the supreme being) they would all just be beings greater than ourselves but not "Gods". There can only be one supreme or ultimate being for that being to be God.
As a Christian, I believe there are beings greater than ourselves, they have been given the names angles, demons, and even "gods" by some. However even these beings were created by the supreme being who revealed himself to mankind as "I am" (Yahweh or Jehovah) He is God. The ultimate Creator of all and the only one who is truly eternal.

Sure. However, we haven't even seen one god yet. Some people claim to have seen a god, but there's nothing to support those claims.

No. There is only ONE God, and that is God of course.

No. Just the Trinity. Three-in-one. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Sure! You can make anything you want into your own personal god. Worship it, adore it, serve it forever.
But unless your God's name is Jesus, it won't do you a bit of good.

Key words in the question are “One” and “Many”.
Since Many means a lot of ones, not one alone, therefore, this saying, “God is one and many”, is highly ponder-able.
Creator of each and everyone is also Ordainer of the conceptual reality of oneness.
Mathematics is a science of space, number and quantity. It is a knowledge, which counts, calculates, measures and states things in figures___ in different scales based on units____ ordained by man.
This man-made knowledge is mainly concerned with things, which are definitely encompass-able by human intellect, as all the things keep recognizable and measurable limits.
In the light of this particular knowledge, the word “one” is one with certain limits___ under certain scale. And, it is a frame-able entity and it can never be two___three___or many.
In our state of intellect and process of understanding, singleness always appear in form of oneness. And, one as a single, stands for an apparent, existing and properly perceivable thing such as:
“One apple and many apples”.
And, that is how one and many is pictured in our minds.
God is not a measurable thing___ entity___ or state. Instead, God is free from all the creaturely traits. God is unlike each and everything___ each and every entity___ and each and every state.
God is the only Creator and Ordainer of all the creaturely things and beings. That is why that God is believed in the following terms that:
“Nothing is alike God”.
Under the beacon light of this statement, intellect can never make any image or imagination of God at any level. Nor it can conceive God as a thing___ entity___ or state___ to count God as one. Therefore, God is not one in terms of Mathematics.
God has explained the word “one” as “alone and only” in terms of its conceptual reality of Monotheism.
In the book of Torah, God said:
“Worship no god but Me”.
And, in Quran God said:
“There is no god but Allah”.
And___ in these two statements God has not used the word “one” and here God clearly means___ God’s Aloneness as God’s Oneness___ and that is the conceptual reality of oneness duly based on the concept of Monotheism.
Therefore the man-made statement about God:
“God is one and Many”
Is totally based on man-made knowledge of Mathematics.
Since, as an introduction of God___ Who is Infinite and Beyond of human intellect___ this statement is diminishing the Aloneness and Oneness of Unseen and Inconceivable God___ therefore, it is totally absurd and false.
God told the truth of God’s Aloneness & Oneness in Godly voice, thousands years ago, on the mount of Sinai to the nation of Moses without using the word “one”.
“I___ and I Alone___ am God
No other god is real”
(Duet: 32:39)
In this God’s saying, first part of the saying that “I___ and I Alone___ am God” is revealing the meanings of God’s Oneness. And second part of the saying that “no other god is real” is providing the irrelevance of the word “many” for God.
Second part of God’s saying that: “no other god is real” further explains, the falseness of the Satan-made idols and demigods & demigoddesses, which are worshipped by the people under the heaven.
People of Indian must positively rectify their belief in God through positive understanding of the truth that “There is no god but Alone Lord” and they must stop preaching the false notion that “God is One and Many”.
Otherwise, on the Day of Judgement, they will be considered as rivals of God and the worshippers of Satan-made gods and goddesses.
God’s Message is a God’s Message and it is not a man made concept, reflecting the limitation of human intellect. Instead, it is reflecting the divine light of truth in perfection.
God said to Moses:
“I ___ and I alone___ am God
No other god is real
I kill and I give life
I wound and I heal
And no one can oppose what I do”
(Duet: 32:39)
“Worship no god but Me
Do not make for yourselves
Images of anything in heaven
Or on earth or in the water under the earth.
Do not bow down to any idol or worship it
For I am the Lord, your God
And I tolerate no rivals”.
(Duet 5:7 to 9)
After Moses (PBUH), this Message of God was carried along and preached by Jesus (PBUH) and thereafter by Muhammad (PBUH) to the whole world.
Even Krishna (PBUH) had carried along and preached the same Message of God to his father and to the Indians as it is written in Bhagavad-Gita:
“But Lord Krishna even discouraged his father Nanda Maharaja from worshipping the demigod Indra because he (Krishna) wanted to establish the fact that people need not to worship any demigod. They need only to worship the Supreme Lord, because their ultimate goal is to return to God’s abode”.
(Bhagavad-Gita As It Is: 1986 edition, last 2 lines & first 3 lines of Introduction at pages No. 20& 21 published by: The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, P.O Box No. 262 Botany, N.S.W.2019, Australia)
Therefore, it is predominantly confirmed that Lord of Krishna is our God, Who is the Unseen God and Who is Alone God and Who alone should be worshipped by all the people, under heaven.
