Detailed explanation-1: -The God of monotheism is the one real god that is believed to exist or, in any case, that is acknowledged as such. God’s essence and character are believed to be unique and fundamentally different from all other beings that can be considered more or less comparable-e.g., the gods of other religions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term “monotheism” is derived from two ancient Greek words: mono (one) and theos (god). Therefore, monotheism is a religious belief that maintains that there is only one god. It is the opposite of polytheism, which is the belief in many gods.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, Hinduism may be considered a monotheistic religion as most Hindus believe in one supreme god whose qualities and forms may be represented by a multitude of deities, all which emanate from Him. Hindus believe that The Brahman is manifested as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
Detailed explanation-4: -Belief that only one god exists works well as a definition of modern monotheism.
