Isn't the claim of "One True God" of monotheism a truth claim? In other words,"one true god" is the ultimate truth/reality and the answer found to the questions relating to man, divinity,nature, ethics, salvation, and abv all this whole existence in the form of the universe. 1/16 
So when you say "polytheism is natural" or "polytheism of your religion" ie of Hinduism, are u saying Hinduism (Vedas) declare polytheism as the ultimate truth in answer to the questions mentioned in abv tweet?
Is theism ( mono or poly) the ultimate truth per Vedas?

From the POV of searching the ultimate truth, Upanishads reject/negate any God including Trimurti as the ultimate truth.

Even Ishwara is only a relative truth (Mithya) per Upanishads.

Upanishads go beyond any Naam and Roop when it comes to searching ultimate truth ie they reject any form of theism, be it mono or poly.

And going beyond any kind of theism Vedas declare ultimate truth to be
सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म~ छान्दोग्योपनिषत् (३.१४.१)
‘एकम् अद्वितीयम्~ छान्दोग्योपनिषत् (६.२.१)
Just a reminder that myriads of Space-Time continuums with its matter (ie Brhamands) appear and disappear in it.6/16

Then what about all those Yagnas, Pujapath, Devtas, Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh of Hinduism? Sri Krishna explains it as follows. It all comes under the Karmakanda and Upasanakanda of Vedas which are the preparatory stage for Gyankanda (Upanishads or Vedanta).

This Vedic position that Ultimate Truth is one but assumes a form per the liking of his devotees (Upasana) is best stated in Tripura Rahasya. See this thread.
Tulsidas states the same in his RCM.
"ऐसेउ प्रभु सेवक बस अहई। भगत हेतु लीलातनु गहई॥"

So absolute universal truth of Vedas is in the Gyankanda (Upanishads or Vedanta). If you want to compare Hinduism with absolute truth (claim) of some other religion, it should be compared against Gyankanda. Not Karmakanda or Upasanakanda.

Sri Sitaram Goel summarized this comparison of Abrahamic religions with Hinduism best when he wrote "God of Hinduism is beyond number and count" ie Truth of Vedas is beyond theism (mono or poly both).

But then why is Aagam Baba framing this comparison of Hinduism with Abrahamic religions as polytheism vs monotheism? Can there be anything more insulting than calling Upasana Kand of Vedas as polytheism? Has he heard something called "Ananya Bhakti" or "Aviral Bhakti"?

In the light of questions raised in the first tweet of the series, polytheism is nothing but a kind of delusion where no religion knows ultimate truth hence to you your truth and to me my truth ie every religions is some kind of delusion at one level or another.

Polytheism (or monotheism )is not and can't be the answer to the question of ultimate truth/reality.
Even effing Charvaks reduce this whole universe to four ultimate truths in the form of air, fire, water, and earth.

So coming back to why this monotheism vs polytheism where Hinduism is pitched as polytheism?
The simple answer is his intellect polluted by Malecha Sanskara.

Under the influence of his Charvaka Guru, Aagam Baba replaces Gyankanda with Jadavadi Science defiling the integrity of Vedas, and makes sense of Karma and Upasana kanda in the light of it.

cc @subhashkak1 , sir you may like this thread.
"It presumes that every vedic hindu must have moksha/Laya in Brahman as the highest goal."
What!! I never said that. I said that for comparison purpose "absolute universal truth claims" of two must be compared.

"Brahman>Ishwara>Trimurti>Vedic gods, hence we are not monotheist or polythesist is a very sectarian argument. "
You can't say that unless Upanishads themselves are sectarian. I didn't quote even from Purana or itihasa, let alone from any Sampradaya text.

That's fine but wish of such saints doesn't change final conclusion or absolute universal truth told by Vedas.
Hehe!!! So when Sri Rama says:
आदौ स्ववर्णाश्रमवणिताः क्रियाः
कृत्वा समासादितशुद्धमानसः ।
समाप्य तत्पूर्वमुपात्तसाधनः
समाश्रयेत्सगुरुमात्मलब्धये ॥

Is he insulting all the sages you listed?
Stop blabbering and get off my TL.

Which Kannda is best for a person is decided by his Varna and Aashram and the state of his Antahkarana. But final of conclusion of Vedas is in Upanishads/Vedanta. No amount of ranting can change that.
Ramayana or Mahabharata.
Kahan-2 se Padariyon ke Tote moonh Uthaye Chale aate Hain. Pahale Sab AIT ko parama Satya maan ke ye maante hain ki Veda originally (Steppe version) sirf Karmakanda tha aur phir is type ke Chutiyaape aka Manastarangs.
