Imagine how much more interesting the world would be.

"I follow the god of luck"
"I follow the god of beauty"
"I follow the god of tits and wine."

greco-roman polytheism generally had people worshipping several gods in some way and religion became almost bureaucratic in Rome. Which may be part of why Christianity was very effective there as it consolidated religious observance to one all powerful deity

Hinduism is so fascinating because it's as old as the Ancient Greek/Roman religion yet those disappeared while Hinduism survived.

Or Japan. Shintoism is a religion of a million different kami.

I don't know about the other pantheons, but with the Roman's at least, I think they would have eventually been monotheistic. I think the Roman religion was already starting to shift into one god when the Christians took over. Something about "The Undying Sun". I need to read up on it more

But I think maybe polytheism naturally eventually turns into monotheism, as society evolves

But yes, it would be fun if in the modern world, there were still temples to Odin, or Loki, or Poseidon or Hera.
