Its really more of disproving sects of atheism in 2min or less. Irrational atheists are just irrational atheists, quite frankly, they are as easily disproved as irrational theists.
Apparently...and I doubt they were worshipping Yahweh either.
All "gods" are a reflections of the One God. All cultures have worshipped the same One throughout history, because even the polytheistic deities are aspects of the One.
This is actually an idea that I first heard from a SECULAR history teacher when I was in middle or high school. It's an idea that has stayed with me for decades because it makes sense to me.

It makes sense because there is only one Reality to account for. Either there is a God or there isn't, but only ONE no matter what humans believe ABOUT God.

How do you know this? Why couldn't it be a multi god universe with an elected CEO god who gets replaced at the pleasure of the god board?
Or maybe it is multi gods engaged in attrition and periodically one emerges as the capo di tutti capo god and reigns supreme until knocked off by an ambitious under god.
I would also point out that even if we could agree that all worship has been directed at a singular god, we still wouldn't agree that there is a god out there paying any attention.

It's really neat how you are able to retrofit all cultures to align with your worldview. Things always work out better in hindsight, don't they?
I suspect there might be a few million Hindus, Greeks, Romans and Norse who have/had different ideas.... but don't let that stop you from speaking for them.

So you're happy to accept that the 'One God' is Ganesha then?

It makes sense to you... just as long as the 'One God' is the one that YOU believe in huh?

Yes. People have tried to unite different cultures, mainly by showing unity between their religions. I'm sorry that kind of thing offends you so much.
