Polytheistic religions are those that have several, or many, Gods and deities as oppose to just one. Hinduism is a polytheistic religion, because there are many Hindu Gods; on the other hand, Christianity and Islam are MONOTHEISTIC, because they have just one God with one main prophet (this being Jesus in Christianity, and Mohammed in Islam). The old Greek, Roman and Celtic religions were Polytheistic, and so were the religions of the Incas.

For example, the ancient Romans and Greeks ascribed all manner of licentios behavior to their pantheon, and proceeded to use their mythology as an excuse to behave accordingly.
