A deity is a supreme being, many cultures describe some human quality mixed
with awesome powers. We (our technology actually) would be supreme beings to
cultures occurring 2000 years ago. Many Roman and Egyptian deities had both
human and animal appearance. The Greeks described their Gods as very
controlling , super humanlike and very powerful.
Almost all cultures had a "boss" God that lorded over the others, there are
tales of attempted takeovers and dissidents that plagued the "boss" God.
This is not much different than belief in one god that has angels (lesser
gods) to do their biddings. The 'one' and/or  'boss' God usually had a
nemisis which can translate to Satan or the 'bad guy' God.
