We can call this the Polytheist Wager.
Since the only "proof" we have of the "one God" is the belief of the believers, and contradictory stories about Who is the Big Kahuna,
and there are so very VERY many Gods and Goddesses,
you have a 1 in..er...LOTS chance of being right if you pick just one,
and a LOTS against 1 of being wrong,
so it's safer to honor all of them.
Better to have insurance and not need it than to need it and not have it, eh?

Zeus
No. Neither heretical nor atheistic. My Civicus is largely RR/HR and RCR.
Krishna
I am Atheist to Krishna. As I have publically stated, and gotten in huge trouble for, Krishna is one of two gods I have enough evidence against to consider not real.
Ahura Mazda
....didn't require worship of himself by followers of other gods, thus neither.
and Osiris.
...ALSO didn't require worship of himself by followers of other gods, thus neither.

These spiritual beings were and still are for many,Reality.The very concept of worship is intertwined with our present day spiritual belief.History and social change were shaped and formed by countless visions and interpretations of gods and goddess.I respect and admire every one of the above mentioned archetypes,their spectacular part in forming our present day world should not be underestimated.

There is only one God who has many forms and many names in the different cultures of the world. Osiris is the father of the Egyptian trinity, Krishna is an incarnation of Brahma - the father of the Indian trinity and Zeus is the father of the gods in Greek mythology. They are different manifestations of the same divine being.

No, the only deity I am atheistic towards is the concept of a omnipotent "God".
I believe all these gods exist, in one from or another, but I don't worship them.

I'm willing to consider any of these as "gods".
Their stories make exactly the same amount of sense as the Christian story of Jesus being born to a virgin and a god, and coming back from the dead.

If you are a Christian, the first commandment is very clear...as is the most important of all commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all you soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind." So the short answer to your question is yes.
