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: -People involved in polytheistic religions might worship all gods equally, place gods in hierarchical structures, or only worship some of the gods. For example, a person might choose a few particular gods that he or she identifies strongly with and then worship them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Civilizations such as the Sumerians and Ancient Egyptians practiced polytheism. In the Sumerian civilization, each city-state had their own god. Sumerian religion is rooted in worshiping elements of nature. Later, Sumerian gods maintained human forms and traits.
