depends on the fundamental question
Concept A: In the whole universe exists only one god. I worship this sole god.
Concept B: In the universe exist a number of gods. But I worship only one of these
Concept C: In the universe exist a number of gods. I worship all of them
I would expect the conservative literal fundamentalist type/s to prefer concept A and the more liberal analogical interpretionist type/s to prefer concept B ...
... but you also have many other possibles, such as:
Concept D: "In the whole universe exists only one god, but it wears many faces, and I worship this god in all it's faces" and
Concept E: In the whole universe there may exist a(n unknown) number of gods. I recognize this possibility, but do not worship any."
Enjoy
