To be fair, Rick Riordan is unintentionally based when it comes to religion. He wrote himself into a corner where:
The gods' power comes from how influential they currently are on humans
Catholicism is real. God and Jesus are real in Percy Jackson with multiple references to them and characters that are worshippers of the Abrahamic religions.
This makes the Christian God that leftists hate so much canonically the most powerful and all-encompassing being in Percy Jackson, and the gods just try to ignore this by not talking about it and getting annoyed when it comes up. It's a punch on the face to leftists who like Percy Jackson because they are pretend pagans or whatever.
I don't believe Riordan intended this what so ever but it is hilarious.
No, the very few times he is mentioned, it's with the pretext that he is so above the pagan gods that he doesn't even consider them.
In Rick's Norse mythology series Thor complains that Jesus Christ never accepted his invitation for them to battle.
In the Egyptian series, the main characters are magicians, and talking to some older magicians, they complain about that time Moses beat them in front of the Pharaoh.
Stuff like that.
It's just supposed to be one off jokes, but each instance is an instance of the pagan gods getting their asses kicked lol.
