The golden era of Greece and most of the Roman empire were pantheist. I could not call India pantheist but over the centuries it has included many different religions some with multiple deities. Jain, Buddhism, Islam, Hindu, Zoroastrians. Monothiestic cultures are the most likely to have severe religious persecution with a lone exception for the worship of money which is usually exalted beyond all other deities.

I think I would prefer the "live and let worship" attitude for pan- and polytheist societies.
