What are the gods that humans worship?
#2
I think a large quantity of them are creations of humans to try to explain the uknown, As most of the very early Gods are linked to things like the Sun and the Moon and their 'interactions' or storm Gods.

As example..

The Divine Downpour
Quote: 
You turn to the weather channel and hear the meteorologist talking about a storm brewing at sea. He makes a point about “the eye of the storm” and you wonder how storms suddenly have human features. What gives?
 
“The eye of the storm” is one example of the personification of weather. Humans have personified natural phenomena for millennia. It may have originally allowed people to understand the causes and features of things like forest fires and thunderstorms. Over time, natural events took on human-like personas in a number of polytheistic religions. Storm gods could be benevolent or malicious, much like humans. From the earliest times to the present day, storm gods have occupied a place at the heart of religious traditions across the globe.
