Yes !!! The gods of Hinduism, are derived from mythologies, although the Vedic Aryans god (Abrahamic cousins) is the monotheistic Brahman (Universal Being) - all the upanisads speak of Brahman e.g Brhadaranyaka Upanishad 5.1 (Yajur Veda) gives the definition of Brahman. Veda based philosophies such as advaita and dvaita are monotheistic

Brahman is without any Characteristics
But not the Abrahamic God..The Abrahamic God loves, gets angry, sends his wrath ..It has a Personality eventhough it has no form
Brahman has neither personality nor form
Brahman is more like inert ...It is there, all encompassing but it is not personal...It of the Nature of Consciousness
That is our only link to Brahman--Our Underlying Consciousness
The best way to define Brahman is that it is that what you experience in dreamless sleep
Absolutely Nothing
Of course Buddha thought that's a faulty approach and modified Brahman as the 3rd and 4th Arupa Jhanas of deep Meditation
3rd Arupa Jhana: Realm of Nothingness
4th Arupa Jhana: Realm of Neither Perception nor Non Perception
