There's nothing to imagine as the natural inclination of man is fitrah and the unconditioned innate nature of man is toward the one God.
As Ibrahim PBUH who didn't have books or prophets to lead him aright and his father was a worshiper of multiple gods whom he'd carve with his hand quite possibly even eat later as Buddhists do with the butter statues they create sat with self and pondered as we all do:

Thus no one who really sits with themselves and truly seeks to find God would be turned down and none would come up your theories, they're too convoluted and the very nature which dictates such laws as that of parsimony which states that entities should not be needlessly multiplied! A god of war and a god of harvest and a god of sun and a god of mood and a god of winter and a god of summer by their very nature said gods would be at odds with one another and would in fact defy the very definition of the term and natural inclination of the self and even the principles of logic.
You simply don't want that though do you?
...
so good luck with all of that!
