poly + theism [polytheism] |

On this web page, we are using the term "theism" in a more narrow sense of monotheism--belief in only one god. There are three major world religions which are monotheistic: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In addition, two other world views are monotheistic: deism and theistic existentialism. These are explained through the following links:
