The same point of view that demands that there be only one God also demands that God need no helpers. No angels, no Jesus, no saints.

It is not a matter of need. It is a matter of want.

So if God wants there to be infinite other gods, there can be.

Logic dictates that since you have never observed the whole of the universe, you cannot know it completely. It could have sentience so far beyond your own that you could never recognize it.

That makes no sense. God is a logical and scientific God. In fact he invented logic and science.

It is inanimate. God is animate and sentient.

Then it makes no sense for God, who is all-powerful and without flaw, to entrust any tasks to lesser beings like angels or Jesus. He would not need them, so logically he would not use them.

Again, you have no way of knowing that.
