The terms, other than monotheism, are polytheism, Atheism, henotheism. these terms are defined as follows:

  • Monotheism: Monotheism means belief in one God. All the three religions ARE basically calling for monotheism.
  • Polytheism:The term for religions that worship more than one god is polytheism, meaning (in Greek) Belief in many gods.
  • Atheism:People who do not believe that there is a god are called Atheists from the Greek, "theism" (belief) and the prefix "a" (without).
  • Henotheism: The term comes from the Greek heis theos or "one god". The term refers to religious belief systems that accept the existence of many gods (such as polytheism) but worship one deity as supreme and other gods as partners.

Branches of Buddhism and Hinduism are non-monotheistic religions .

Non-monotheistic religions are mostly older religions, for instance, Egyptian, the Romans and Greek Gods; Hinduism would be one of these. There were European religions that were pantheistic, the Norse Gods, the Gods of the ancient British Isles, etc. Buddhism is NOT a religion, it is agnostic about God (they neither affirm nor deny a God or gods.

There is no uniform term for religions that are not monotheistic. Most of these religions would fall under the blanket term of "polytheistic religions", but there are significant groups of "animist religions", "cults of personality", "nontheistic religions", and "pantheistic religions".
