First the various religions have to clarify what they mean by the word god. If “god” just means a powerful spirit, then there are many gods. But if God means “the creator” there is only one of them, for every other god is in turn caused by something else.

Let us also try to define “spirit”. My understanding is that spirits don’t mean “non-existent” but non physical. That would mean that the spiritual is in higher dimension, not normally accessible to physical beings. The occultists who run the world certainly do believe in spirits/higher dimensions, but pretend to be materialists in front of the masses, or even Christians, who are forbidden to interact with these evil spirits.
