Just like many proponents of a 2-party state are happy to explain their advantages over a 1-party state but strangely incurious about the opportunity cost they incur by not investigating an N>2-party state, the advantage of monotheism over animism is widely held to be a reduction in the number of intentional agents, but reducing the number of intentional agents by one more* is strangely anathema.

* I have heard Unitarian Universalism described as a church for those who believe in, at most, one god.

Edit: by synecdoche, is Murphy (of the eponymous law) a candidate for divinity?

   counterintuitive: intuition expects decorrelation
         between potential and actual going wrong
   an intentional agent: Murphy does not work if
         you were planning to take advantage of him
   strategic information: Murphy knows both what can
         go wrong and if anyone was planning for it to
   able to act in the human world: for sure
   capable of motivating behaviours: the existence
         of Murphy motivates belt-and-suspenders tactics
