What is Hellenism?

Are you equating belief in the divine as only believing in one god?
That is more important for me and the people of Greece had many Hellenism who believed in ONE-GOD.

"A number of oracles of Apollo from Didyma and Clarus, the so-called "theological oracles", dated to the 2nd and 3rd century CE, proclaim that there is only one highest god, of whom the gods of polytheistic religions are mere manifestations or servants.[107] 4th century CE Cyprus had, besides Christianity, an apparently monotheistic cult of Dionysus.[108]"
Monotheism - Wikipedia

Socrates was one such person who believed in ONE-GOD.
Please correct me if I am wrong?

The source you quote disproves your claim; it mentions Hermes in conjunction with Dionysus. Hermes is another Greek god - his presence in the cult artwork suggests the Dionysian cult in question was not in fact monotheistic. It could have been henotheistic. It was probably polytheistic because Dionysus' stories only make sense in a polytheistic context.

There's no evidence to support this claim.
