Hard vs. Soft Polytheism

Alrighty, for those polytheists that lurk around on here (if any lol): Do you consider yourself to be more soft or hard when it comes to polytheism? And why?

Soft polytheism = all gods are either a single god, and/or psychological archetypes, a/o natural forces, given human characteristics.

Hard polytheism = the gods are distinct and individual, and independent of the human mind, possessing their own minds.

Or, at least those are the rough meanings.

I guess I'm a soft polytheist then. I just think every culture has had its own way of expressing God. Each one is a facet of the whole. Really enjoy reading about various religions and such from around the world. To me everything is God anyways.. including the animals and planet.
