Proof
Either there are no gods, and therefore atheistic claims are true, or there are many gods, and therefore polytheistic claims are true, or there is only one god, and therefore monotheistic claims are true.
Premise 1: If atheistic claims and polytheistic claims are both false, then monotheistic claims are true.
Premise 2: Both atheistic and polytheistic claims are false.
Conclusion: Therefore, monotheistic claims are true.
Since both atheistic and polytheistic claims are deductively false, monotheistic claims are therefore deductively true.
