I have been asked this many times as well. Here is my answer: Neither. I am what you call a Monist, I believe that many things are of one source, that all stem from one thing.
Therefore, when I talk about the Divine, I use many words and names to express the Divine.The specific names I use refer to the Gods of the religions I believe in.
So, when I discuss the Divine, I say anything such as God, Goddess, Father, Mother, The Gods, The Goddesses, Jesus, Zeus, Din, Aradia, etc.
As a Monist, I believe in One Universal God, but, this God has many faces and appearances, which are the Gods of the religions. So to put it in a nutshell, I believe in One Universal God made of many Gods.
