Polytheism, the belief in many gods. Polytheism characterizes virtually all religions other than Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which share a common tradition of monotheism, the belief in one God. Sometimes above the many gods a polytheistic religion will have a supreme creator and focus of devotion, as in certain phases of Hinduism (there is also the tendency to identify the many gods as so many aspects of the Supreme Being); sometimes the gods are considered as less important than some higher goal, state, or saviour, as in Buddhism; sometimes one god will prove more dominant than the others without attaining overall supremacy, as Zues in Greek religion. Typically, polytheistic cultures include belief in many demonic and ghostly forces in addition to the gods, and some supernatural beings will be malevolent; even in monotheistic religions there can be belief in many demons, as in New Testament Christianity. *** It is crucial that people know that all human initial civilization is Polytheistic and the Pagan way of life. Monotheism started by the criminal Romans who hijack Israel and invented the A.D. anno domini ecclesiastic Jesus religion.*** Pagan ... www.dictionary.com/browse/pagan: is defined as people or community observing a polytheistic religion, as the ancient Romans and Greeks.
