Why is Hindu religion monotheistic?
The gods of modern Hinduism include the chief gods Shiva, Vishnu and the Mother Goddess Shakti as well as a myriad of local community gods. Devotion to these various deities is based primarily on one's region and needs, and even when devotion is given to only one, the existence of others is acknowledged. Despite these polytheistic elements, however, many Hindus explain that the gods are various forms of a single Supreme Being. Similarly, the philosophical Hindu texts advocate a pantheistic view of ultimate reality. These texts, most notably the Upanishads, explain that there exists a single Supreme Reality, called Brahman. Brahman is often personified and presented as the One that must be sought, and can begin to sound like monotheism. "Hindus believe in monotheistic polytheism, rather than polytheism." (The Hindu Universe) "Hinduism worships multiple forms of the one God." (OM, an American Hindu organization) "According to the tenets of Hinduism, God is one as well as many." (HinduWebsite.com)

What types of religions believe in one true god?
Religions generally believe in a "true" god ... their own Monotheists believe in one, polytheists believe in two or more, pantheists believe in god mixed in with everything, some old relgions believe in smaller gods tucked away into every feature (tree, hill etc.) Some philosophies such as Buddhism, Taoism and Confucians have no god position and could be called Nontheistic religions.
What is the practice of worshipping many gods?
In modern society, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca and Taoism are the best examples of a functioning polytheism. However, many older religions can also be considered polytheistic. The word 'polytheistic' derives from Greek and literally means "many gods". Thus, any religion that reveres many gods instead of one all-powerful god is polytheistic. In general, polytheistic religions are extremely old, by which I mean people mostly only practiced them a long time ago, and most have since died out. We've come to know these dead religions as mythology, yet Ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse and Sumerian cultures all took these myths extremely seriously. Eventually, the spread of monotheism (ie:Christianity, Islam, Judaism) gained momentum and converted or persecuted all but a few of the old polytheists.
