you're just being picky.. all major Christain faiths are the same in which figures they see as worshipped and those they see as hateful.. they respect each others prophets etc even if they don't follow the same rules.. they don't have any core Christian sect that says "God is evil" or "Jesus is evil" or "Moses is evil".. they all agree these figures are at least worthy of respect.. they are also unified in the stance of "Devil is bad".. the only exception being sects that do not believe the Devil exists at all, yet even they will say the Devil is a symbolism of evil in society etc.

as for the evil gods rule.. I think we should just play it common sense - Olympians and the like are valid because even in the times they were worshipped they were feared, the Olympians were known to have alien morality from the rest of creation, to the point in myths the "gods" could pretty much do whatever they wanted while punishing mortals for minor offences.

Olympian deities were capricious, dangerous and unfathomable - much like fairy folk in later tales, they could bring ruin to entire civilizations just because the mood suited them.. they were worshipped as much to appease them as to admire them (as for Hades and so on.. that's why we have "on and off" - there's very few ancient deities I can think of that have not committed some insanely questionable deeds.. the "old gods" were not our friends, they just happened to be our best defence against WORSE things..).
