Maybe the Jewish faith has kept to that but Christians have a long tradition of practicing syncretism and priests were happy just to get a Danish king to say “Hail Odin the all father and Freyr’s might and uh… also the Christian God I guess.”
Comment on Can Christians, Muslims or Jews worship or pray to pagan gods?

There’s plenty of references in the OT to Jews doing the same thing.
And European Christianity chased out worship of anyone save the God of Abraham rather violently after a generation or two.

I love how that part admits that there are other gods.
