Morkus from Orkus
Ultimately we are discussing 5e and in 5e there are 25 listed Greyhawk deities.I did not "pull that number out of my rear" and you clearly aren't thinking things through if you are thinking 25 is in anyway accurate, because you are missing some blatantly obvious facts.
Intermediate are hundreds of thousands. Greaters MAY have millions, but they aren't required to have plural millions, so 1 million is all that is required. You are ignoring the minimum and assuming more than is probable. You are also assuming that all of the gods are greater, when very few actually are. So no, your 155 million estimate isn't even close to being accurate.But, before I have the list (don't worry everyone, it will be spoilered for obvious reasons) I do want to remind you of what I said, because you are going to immediately turn around and try and "well, actually" me. I said "rounding to a million per god". Remember, in 3.5 what it states that Greater Gods (ranks 16-20) "Called greater deities, these entities may have millions of mortal worshipers, and they command respect even among other deities."
Millions. Plural. So the most powerful greaters might have 10 million or more worshipers. So, I was doing a Fermi Estimation, picking a number that was likely fairly close to an average, to get a rough sense.
Your 155 million estimate is bonkers. Each of the demigods only has a few thousand worshippers at best. The lessers a few thousand to a few tens of thousands. Intermediates a few hundred thousands. And there are only a handful of greaters to even break the million mark. And that's with the 3e list. 5e only has 25 gods on it and that list includes greaters, lessers and demigods. There are no intermediate gods in 5e.Now, the list of every single greyhawk setting deity by 3.5, when this ranking system was implemented:

Actually, I'll admit, I'm using a different list this time. Originally I counted all the Demigods as a single unit per category as well, but with 300 gods of varying power level, I think my 155 million would be... and underestimate of the number of people needed to support this many deities. I think putting a nail in the coffin that people ever followed this rule at DnD headquarters
