Lots and lots of them. As a matter of fact, true believers in the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (aka LDS or Mormons) believe in All of the Gods that will be made Gods of their very own planets some day (just regular Mormon folks, now...but...) by living the doctrines set forth in the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenents and the Pearl of Great Price - baptizing dead relatives, by getting married in the temple, keeping their "temple recommends card" up to date, paying their tithes to the local Ward, refraining from drinking Coke and coffee ("Gods forbid" that there should be Coca Cola in one of the three levels of Heaven they believe in....become a God just like Adam, "who is (their) Lord and their God, and the only God with whom (they) have to do" (that was "Brother Brigham" Young that said that gem)....just like "the God of this world" (Mormons can sound very 'monotheistic' when they need to, but they believe in many gods, just ask an elder!) came to this planet from the planet Kolob. They have another Jesus, too....the "spirit brother of Lucifer"....who, with his "brother" each presented a plan of salvation for the new world...to a council of Gods (yes, Gods!) - and their Jesus won!! Woo hooo!!
After they get themselves "sealed" in the Temple, in a cermony that is almost word-for-word out of the Masonic ritual (Jos. Smith was a Mason, you know...)....they can go on to become gods, too....and practice polygamy....because, after all - once the husbands call their wives out of the grave with the secret password given to them at the "sealing ceremony" (uh oh, wives - if they forget the password....you are doomed!) - they need as many wives as possible to keep eternally pregnant so they can populate the new planet that they are now the "only god" of.
Great stuff....for a science fiction novel.
Too bad so many folks don't know the truth.

Mormons think they believe in the God of heaven. Joseph Smith told them a lot of lies and they believed them. As mentioned earlier, these men wanted to have many wives, so Joseph Smith sat out to make them believe it was alright. He took a bunch of the mistranslated King James Version of the Bible and used it as text in his book of Mormon that he wrote. The only thing is, if Joseph Smith had taken down word for word what God was supposed to have told him, there would never have been a need to revise the book. It has been revised many times because Joseph Smith was not capable of pulling off this fraud. But a lot of people were duped into believing his story.

We believe in God the Eternal Father, in His Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost.
We believe there are other gods "out there" somewhere, as we believe we can become like our Heavenly Father and create our own worlds someday (sounds a lot easier than I am sure it is going to be to attain godhood, and I am sure not every LDS member will...)

sure and No- he's the single genuine God with the daddy, who's Heavenly Father. he's not the "God" the daddy the Bible speaks, by way of fact he's the Son of God. And no they are no longer working in the direction of to be Gods of planets and universes, they're residing to be as close to to God's teachings as possible so as that at some point they could be like God's photograph. no longer "GODS", yet like as God replaced into. pay attention to no longer people who have been excommunicated from the Church, as a lot of them are somewhat a number of the main deceptive and evil ones as we talk. instead believe in prayer, as in case you will pray over the e book of Mormon and Bible the spirit will make certain to you interior hours.
