The belief of hindus vary. Some believe in one Supreme God, others have three major Gods and a Goddess, most believe in many Gods and Goddesses. There are some, who do not believe in Gods or Goddesses. Some believe that all things are emergent from God. This is the freedom that Hinduism gives to its adherents. Different views are called 'matas' (opinions).
This makes you a polytheist.
What or who do hindus believe in depends on the particular person. Most would say that 'dharma' (fulfillment of duties and righteous action) is important. Most would believe in many Gods and Goddesses.
For the same reason as Jesus and Mary to Christians

Their philosophy is that, although they believe there is but one truth, there are different "Sages" or spiritual leaders who call the truth by different names.

By encouraging critical thinking and questioning established norms, Socrates promoted philosophical inquiry that often contradicted the religious teachings of the time. This led some to believe he was undermining the authority of the gods and goddesses in Greek society.
