First, I would say to read up on polytheism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PolytheismThen, the next is something I wrote about how I came to where I am now in believing in God.
I would like to tell you about my search for God after I left the Mchurch. I am not saying "You must believe this way!!!" only "this is what I believe, your mileage may vary."
After I left, I made a list of what I believed and what I didn't believe. With the subject of God, it came down to the fact that I couldn't believe in a God that was all-powerful, and yet all-loving. The dichotomy was too much when thinking of all the innocents that are in pain in the world. But, I believed in some kind of Higher Power, but that was obviously not the god of Abraham. So started my search.
After being out for over 25 years, this is where I am today.
My Goddess and God are loving individuals who are, basically, more spiritually evolved than I. They are not all-powerful, nor omniscient. They are, however, able to manipulate time and space in such a way that my mere human brain calls "Magick" and "Miracles". They do not demand worship or rituals, nor do they expect me to be more than what I am. Human. With all the flaws that that entails. I do worship them and use ritual to do so because it comforts me. As followers of them, they do want me to continually evolve as a spiritual being, with all the little backsliding that goes with that. Needless to say, I have a much better relationship with them, than I ever had with the Mormon god.
