If this tread needs moved any Mod feel free to do so but I could not find a Sub-forum
for Polytheistic Religions.
I am confussed while I had the belief the a Polythesitic Religions were Religions that had the belief in more then one God or Deities, some of what I am reading seems
to conflict with that idea can someone explain it to me a little more.
For instance this is what I found on one site:
Poly-theism: Belief in many Gods and Goddesses: Romans, Greeks, Hinduism, various Neopagan religions... however, most of them do not have actually many gods, but only one, the absolute, Brahman in Hinduism for example, and all the others gods are just attributes of God manifested by the sun, moon, a mountain, even animals like the elephant or monkey or cow or eagle or buffalo ... this is called Heno-theism

So which is it or is it two different Religions. And do most like Hinduism have one absolute and the rest are just attributes?
