RE: ATHEIST DOGMA

Yes, but it makes for a complicated ontology.

For example,

"In the beginning" did "YHWH" make Dagon and Baal and Asherah? Were they originally "angels"?

The Bible also reveals “that the worship of Asherah, which had been popular among the Hebrew tribes for three centuries,was introduced into the Jerusalem Temple by King Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, in or about 928 BCE. . . . of the 370 years during which the Solomonic Temple stood in Jerusalem the statue of Asherah was present in the Temple, and her worship was a part of the legitimate religion approved and led by the king, the court, and the priesthood, for no less than 236 years (almost two-thirds of the time).” LINK
