* While the many beings of [[Myth/AboriginalAustralianMyths indigenous Australian religions]] can technically be considered gods and almost all cultures acknowledge the existence of multiple agents at work, worship usually is/was retricted to one or a few. For example the Gamilaraay worshipped Baiame and nowadays compare him to the Judaeo-Christian god, considering him more sacred than the other supernatural beings, but the latter still existed and were cause for concern/wonder. The Yuin by contrast revere/d Daramulum, which to the Gamilaraay was a relatively minor child/brother of Baiame.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' has the Archons, which were seven minor deities that ascended to the status of God, being known as "[[StockGods The Seven]]" of Teyvat. In this world, there are seven nations that are patronized for every Archon that also [[ElementalEmbodiment represents one of the seven elements]] in this world. Until now, the seven nations (Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan and Snezhnaya) are patronized by the [[BlowYouAway Anemo]] Archon Barbatos, [[DishingOutDirt Geo]] Archon Rex Lapis [[spoiler:(both [[GodInHumanForm reincarnated into human]] and {{playable character}}s Venti and Zhongli]]), the [[GodOfThunder Electro Archon Baal]] (known primarily by the title of Raiden Shogun), [[MotherNature Dendro Archon Buer]] (known as "Lesser Lord" Kusanali) [[spoiler:als known as Nahida]], [[LordOfTheOcean Hydro Archon Focalors]] (who openly goes by Furina), the [[GodOfFire Pyro Archon]] (who goes by Murata) and the Cryo Archon (known as the Tzaritsa). Despite this, there's nothing against praying to a foreign deity with Sumeru merchant Dori once praying to Rex Lapis due to him being [[TheAlmightyDollar the God of Commerce]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'': It is mentioned that most (non-Wombat) races accept the existence of multiple deities, but most godly people tend to pick a single PatronGod. Murai is a member of the Veiled, an order of {{Warrior Monk}}s that serve all gods equally, but she is also counted as a worshipper of Ganesh due to having grown up worshipping him.
