My two bits - Indians in ancient times never worshipped a GOD as such. Their worship was directed to a specific aspect of nature or a natural phenomenon - Thunder, Sky, Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Sun, etc.

I personally would conclude that the principal upanishads also do not speak about any GOD. They speak about an absolute, i.e. Brahman and its manifestation in each of us - Atman.

The BU also refers to a famous dialogue between the sage Yajnavalkya and several other sages. In that Yajnavalkya demonstrates manifold gods, one brahman, through a series of discussions... Most instructive reading if you are interested...

Fitting anything into ideology just depends on how elastic the mind is and how much you are willing to fantasise...

Cheers
