Polytheism
Religious Context
Polytheism is commonly used in discussions about religion, mythologies, and ancient civilizations.

In polytheism, gods often embody natural forces or human values.
Not Christianity
Avoid confusing polytheism with monotheistic religions like Christianity, Islam, or Judaism that worship a single deity.

Unlike Christianity, polytheism involves a pantheon of gods.
Historic Beliefs
Polytheism is often associated with historical beliefs rather than modern practices, though some still exist today.

Polytheism was the norm in ancient Egypt, with gods like Ra and Isis.
