That was kind of a vacuous response, sorry.
I don't think the differences between mono and polytheism are that simple. There's clearly some kind of element to organized religion that has a stronger capacity to personally compel people, and there's some sociological experimentation that suggests the abandonment of paganism assists transition to a complexified, larger society. The kinds of societies that can't be policed by the chief and the medicine man, the kinds that can rule continents. I'm reminded of a snippet from a podcast I listened to a while back, I'm sure if you dig you can find some book where this experiment is recounted in detail.
