==History==
Deities or gods are powerful supernatural beings representing the dominant authority of a religion. The major deity featured in ''Supernatural'' is referred to as [[God]], who merely hides behind whatever religion is most popular at the time, that of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). [[Fortuna]] eventually reveals to Sam and Dean that deities were in fact created by God Himself, though most of them no longer remember this fact. According to Fortuna, when God first created humanity, they worshiped things like nature instead of God. Initially enraged, God chose to create the pagan deities as scapegoats to take the blame for things going wrong and because they made an epic story. However, who God's ego only allowed this for so long and he abandoned his creations and chose to hide behind whatever religion is referred the most popular. Over time, most of these gods have forgotten their true origins and took to hunting humans for scraps and competing against each other to as display their dominance over opposing religions.<ref name="fifteen11">[[God15.11 The Gamblers]]. </ref>
Kali shows disgust for Westerners and their belief that they have the right to leadership in their own [[God]]'s name, accusing them of butchery. She also states that she and the other gods' religions were practiced before his.<ref name="five19">[[5.19 Hammer Of The Gods]]</ref>
