Detailed explanation-1: -Polytheism is the belief in multiple deities, which are usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses, along with their own religious sects and rituals. Polytheism is a type of theism. Within theism, it contrasts with monotheism, the belief in a singular God who is, in most cases, transcendent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polytheism by definition is the belief in and worship of many gods. The word “poly” means many, and “theism” means the belief in the existence of a divine god. Though more than half of the world’s population practices monotheism, most religions are actually polytheistic.
Detailed explanation-3: -In some sense, Hinduism appears as polytheistic; however, the various gods and goddesses are viewed strictly as embodiments of the Divine Brahman, and so the system is monotheistic. Atman is the true inner self of the individual which carries on from one life to another.
Detailed explanation-4: -Usually, a polytheistic religion has a set of stories about the gods. This is called mythology.
