One Is The Loneliest Number....Asking About Philosophical Monotheism

I don’t know about philosophically, necessarily, but if you posit the existence of God, I don’t see a reason for more than one. The Bible seems to suggest that it is written on our hearts, as well, à la Psalm 19 & Romans 1:

The heavens declare the glory of God,
    and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
    and night to night reveals knowledge.
 
Psalm 19:1-2

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
 
Romans 1:20

 
That is corroborated by an account I have alluded to before, and I wish I could cite attribution for it, because I don’t think it was apocryphal…

I remember reading decades ago an account of an aboriginal tribesman in Africa who knew that the animism of his tribe was wrong. So he set out on his own, leaving the tribe, seeking. And he was found of Christ, because in his travels he ‘just happened upon’ some Christian missionaries laboring in or among another tribe or tribes.

 
I wonder if it was in this, by the same author as Peace Child, which I’ve mentioned before: Eternity in Their Hearts.
