There have been many candidate gods in many human traditions.  |
Maybe, maybe not.
Some schools of though suggest all different "gods" are merely different facets of the singular supreme being or "God". Under such a philosophy, to distinguish between "gods" is merely to distinguish between the different names of "God". Hence, to use the singular turn of phrase for the supreme being would be correct.
Of course not everyone subscribes to the above and for them the plural turn of phrase may be more accurate.
Of course the statement itself would still be as essentially unprovable(at present) and potentially incorrect either way.
