Polytheism vs. Monotheism
Looking back at the history of civilization and that of religion we see that religion has been a way of life and society since the beginning. ... The first belief is that of polytheism created by the Near Eastern people of Mesopotamia. The second belief, and one we still use today, is that of monotheism which was created by the Hebrew people. ...
Polytheism is the belief in multiple gods and was created when the first civilizations started forming. The main point throughout all of polytheism is that the gods controlled all. ...
The Hebrews developed a belief in monotheism, which is the belief in a single, universal, all encompassing god. ...
Polytheism and monotheism contrast much more than the basic fact of multiple gods versus one single god. In polytheism the people served their gods lived to please them. ... In monotheism God and his people worked together throughout life and helped one another.
