Legend
Is there a rule that requires a polytheistic religion? If so, am not familiar with it.The problem is, there is no *rule* that actually says a nonpolytheistic religion counts as ‘gods’.
Xanathars Guide, a supplement, has a note that in effect invites the DM to consider religions that revere a cosmic force or sacred philosophy. However, if the DM does so, the DM ceases to play official D&D and is defacto homebrewing.
Several posters have pointed out that XGtE and the PHB list things other than gods that grant divine domains. That would make them RAW, not homebrewing.
The core rules must become more subjective, diverse, and open about the many different kinds of religious views, before it is able to meaningfully integrate worlds like Eberron, Ravnica, and Darksun, into a supersetting.
Really? That seems like a bit of hyperbole. Could the rules be more subjective, possibly. I guess I look at like all the rules are subjective, so it is a non-issue.
In addition, [MENTION=284]Caliban[/MENTION] answered your question about AL (post #10), so I assume you are all good now?
