Mythological Gods are a myth because God in ruth is Atman because the Vedas say May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman.+

Atman is Brahman or God. Atman is God of Sanatana Dharma. All the Gods believed and worshipped in Hinduism are personal Gods based on mythological stories. there is no reference Mythological God in Vedas.

Mythological Gods are a myth because God in truth is Atman because the Vedas say May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman.

Gods and Goddesses are not God in truth. God in truth is Athma. God is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

The religious Gurus and mystics are only a knower of the religious doctrines, not a knower of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.

All God propagated by belief systems is nothing but imagination. There is nothing so absurd which men have not worshipped in religion, every imaginable face has been given to God. If God is the creator then it is foolish to worship anything as God from his creation because the creation is apart from God.

Religious believers do not understand the meaning of the Brahman means the ultimate truth or the ultimate reality, not religious God with form and name. The Atman which is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Religious believers do not know the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God. They are immersed in devotion to their  God based on blind belief. God based on blind belief is not God in truth.

That is why Lord Krishna Says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self in truth." The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

Bhagavad Gita itself says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the innermost Self. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.

The Vedas talk about Brahman which refers to the ultimate truth or ultimate reality. The consciousness is the ultimate truth, therefore, the consciousness is Brahman and Brahman is God.

Vedas do not permit idol worship. All the idols are of the Puranic Gods Priests are referring to the Puranic Brahma as God they are ignorant of the God in Vedas even though they speak of Vedas.

Remember:~

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions. Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.

The Vedas confirm God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Vedas reveal ONE GOD but Hinduism filled with 33crores of Gods Vedas reveals God as Spirit (Atman or Brahman) and no form whereas Hindus worship God in the form of various non-Vedic idols of Gods and Goddesses are barred by Vedas.

Yajur Veda says those who worship idols in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness. Therefore, all these add-ons prove that the form and attribute-based concepts are introduced projecting them as Vedic Gods in the past with a new belief system and code of conduct in the name of Vedas.

Mundaka Upanishad:~The study of the Vedas, linguistics, Rituals, astronomy, and all the arts can be called lower knowledge. The higher is that which leads to Self-realization. The eye cannot see it; the mind cannot grasp it. The deathless 'Self' has neither caste nor race, neither eyes nor ears nor hands nor feet. Sages say this Self is infinite in the great and in the small, everlasting and changeless, the source of life.

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the innermost Self. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.

Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says: ~ Brahman or God is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

The Spirit is God. The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Atman, the Self. The Atman is present in the form of consciousness.

From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
