I realise that there are, literally thousands of gods to choose from, as we has been pretty busy discovering them down the millennia. However here I think I provide a pretty good round up of the most impressive or significant ones. A vote should be made on, as well as other things, the greatness of purported powers, believability, quality of mythology, best looking portraiture (sorry, Allah), attractiveness of character and deeds, and durability. And yes I know that Allah and Jehovah are thought by some the same, but what can I say?
Edit: To my chagrin I seem to have inadvertently omitted Vishnu, apologies to any Hindus. |

Apollo isn't even the best greek god. Claarly that distinguished honor belongs to Athena.

I would say Prometheus was since he’s actually given something (fire) to mankind.

Buddhist Deities. Akashagarbha (Tibetan: Namkhai Nyingpo) Matrix of the Sky Akashagarbha is the principal Bodhisattva of the Jewel family. He is associated with the Eastern wisdom through the dawning of light from that direction. He wears a white robe and holds a lotus with a large sword shedding that light in his left hand.

Not sure what the best one is. The worst are the anthropomorphic ones that demand worship and punish the disobedient. Those'uns are just silly yet most of the planet follows these. Go figure.

I'll go with Odin just because I always especially liked the Norse myths.
