Detailed explanation-1: -Hinduism is unique in that the religion can be considered both polytheistic and monotheistic (monotheism is the belief in a single god/goddess, or deity). Many Hindus believe that Brahman is the main deity, or single god, and all other gods and goddesses are manifestations of Brahman.
Detailed explanation-2: -While the majority of Hindus (61%) and Jains (54%) say there is “only one God with many manifestations, ‘’ most Muslims (66%), Christians (68%) and Sikhs (57%) say there is “only one God.” Meanwhile, fully one-third of Buddhists do not believe in God at all.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most forms of Hinduism are henotheistic, which means they worship a single deity, known as “Brahman, ‘’ but still recognize other gods and goddesses. Followers believe there are multiple paths to reaching their god.
Detailed explanation-4: -monotheism, belief in the existence of one god, or in the oneness of God.
