Polytheism

//**Polytheism:**// Polytheism is the belief or worship of more than one God*. Most religions are polytheistic, except Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Hinduism is the largest one and has over 300 million gods. Polytheism probably came from the older belief in demons, spirits, and other supernatural things, but with polytheism, the gods are in the form of people, animals, or both. The gods come from other families of different Gods also. It is said that over time, as the culture develops, the amount of Gods will increase, until certain gods become more important than others, and the less important ones will be forgotten.
