Norse, Greek, Egyptian and Hindu religions speak of hundreds of divine figures, how do we determine the validity of each?

I don't think there are any 'valid' divine figures. I regard any christian accounts of Jesus to be mythical, I just think it likely these myths were based on a historical figure. This isnt uncommon, Egyptian pharaohs were thought to be divine, which is absurd, but I wouldn't claim the pharaohs didnt exist historically, clearly they did, and claimed to be divine as many people have throughout the course of human history

Ah, fair assessment. I agree this likely to be the case.
