My reference to "pagans" was in connection to the conversation that Moshe had with Yah... where he learned what the Name was and what it meant... and how it represented the Creator... in conjunction with how the other gods/elohim do not "exist". Yah does exist... and basically that is what His name means.
Pagans (or polytheist), such as those who believed in a plethora of Greek or Caananite gods, called on names of gods that did not/do not exist. Generally, the practive of worshipping many gods is absent within the circle of believers who visit this website (just a gut feeling there).
Typically, someone calling on the Name of "Yahweh" is calling on the same Person as when someone calls on the Name "Yehovah". We do have the example of our ancestors erecting a golden-calf and then calling it by the Great Name, which they did in error of course, but generally believers today have the Elohim of Abraham, Isaak, and Jacob in their mind and heart when they use His Name.
I realize some Christians perceive the Trinity as multiple Persons, but there are those who see that He is One Person manifested in different modes or ways.
There are different forms of Kabbalah as well... and it is the Donmeh-West form that integrates and appreciates other deities from other religious systems. Then there are other forms that appear more biblical... and have a more biblical view of Yah, but likely still have other dangerous concepts mixed in.
Perspectives of El are very diverse even in strict, rigid cult groups, so of course they are even more so in broader streams of Christianity and Judaism.
I guess I'm really not completely certain as to what you're hangup was. Would you rather I not have used the word "pagan", but instead another word... or with more clarification?
