I was including the polytheisms; there’s plenty of bastardry in most pantheons. Mass slaughter, rape and child murderers all over the place; even the supposedly “good” gods tend to indulge in the occasional burst of power-crazed sadism.

Taoist writings are fairly low-bastardry, but they’re also largely lacking in anthropomorphic divinities.
There are many traditions with beloved gods. Ganesha seems pretty damn chill. Many other indigenous cultures have highly beloved, wonderful gods and other entities.

“What do you mean? I sent you all those scientists to sort it out!”
