Then who told you that there are multiple God?your book?or your neighbors?

There’s only one God and that is the Father(creator) and no other aside from Him..

What makes you think its male?

Language is a huge barrier. Aramaic has a word that embodies both, and its apparently how Jesus actually taught his disciples. But all is "lost in translation".

The word God does deserve some rethinking as well, ignoring the joke nature of OP, it is a valid concern. People like to anthropomorphize God but you could say the universe is his/her body, and yes male/female are all within.

The Greek caricature of a god doesn't differ much from modern day comics, and that is where the Deus word comes from, at least you are spared from that in English...

You never see God because you are seeing it all the time, silly.

Satan is more of an analogy. Evil only exists the moment you decide to do it (or "welcome" it). The moment you say no, it dies. Rising this concept to a "God" like level, was actually something Judaism borrowed from Zoroastrianism during the Babylonian exile (when they entered in contact with).

You'd be surprised how easy religion is once you add some actual history (context) to it.
