Thanks in advance,  |
In addition, more than one god, yes.
*
the God is ungrammatical.
God is a name.
Grammar Note, plural count-nouns take -s; e.g., a god, three gods, the gods, whereas singular count nouns, particularly names, never take determiners; e.g., *a John, *a Susan, *the God, *a God, unless specified: the God
of War, a God
of War.
Hope that helps.
