- Polytheism is the belief in the existence of and the worship of many (usually more than 4) gods. It is the type of multi-theism which was formerly the most popular all over the world, until the dogmatic onlyist totalist imitation monotheistic religions (e.g. Christianism and Islamism) started spreading like a cancerous wildfire across the globe. Actually, most kinds of monotheism, such as Zorasterianism and Christianity, are actually multitheistic. Zorasterianism recognizes or acknowledges (posits the existence of) two distinct deities (gods), one good, one evil (although they only seek to worship one, they still believe in the existence of the other). Judaism & Islam do this with God and Satan, while Christianity divides God into 3 persons: the Father (God), the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit or Ghost (Logos). So Christianity, although claiming to be monotheistic, is actually tri-theistic or even quad-theistic (count them: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Satan); they may only worship 3, or "1 in 3 ways", but they actually acknowledge the existence of 4 (although some totally deny that Satan is a god or deity, but only describe him as a "dark power" or "fallen angel". The angels themselves, however, are also gods or at least demigods, as are the Saints).
- Polytheism is the belief in or worship of multiple deities, called gods and/or goddesses. These are usually assembled into a pantheon, along with their own mythologies and rituals. Many religions, both historical and contemporary, have a belief in polytheism, such as Shinto, Ancient Greek polytheism, Roman polytheism, Germanic polytheism, Slavic polytheism, Chinese folk religion, Neopagan faiths and Anglo-Saxon paganism. Polytheists do not always worship all the gods equally, but can be monolatrists, specialising in the worship of one particular deity. Other polytheists can be kathenotheists, worshiping different deities at different times. Polytheism (belief in one or more gods), is a type of theism but contrasts with monotheism (belief in a singular god), which is the dominant belief in the world today. In certain religions, such as Wicca, the various deities are seen as emanations of a greater Godhead.

- Polytheism is in many ways as reasonable as Monotheism. The prevalence of monotheism is a historical accident. The Japanese Shinto religion is polytheistic and Japan is an advanced country. There is no evidence for any religion:- 1.
* In one way Polytheism may make slightly more sense than Monotheism. The chaotic state of the world is consistent with many gods perhaps also goddesses who have different aims. The chaotic state of the world is also consistent with no god. Occam's razor may favour no god. 2.
* In another way, Polytheism has a difficulty that isn't in monotheism. Why do the same scientific principles apply throughout the universe? How did the gods and goddesses agree the same scientific laws? Overall atheism makes more sense.

Polytheism looks at at first glance at least as reasonable as Monotheism. Still polytheists need to explain how many gods came to agree on the same set of physical laws. The prevalence of monotheism is a historical accident which happened because of the importance of the three Abrahamic religions.
