Henotheism

A belief in many deities of which only one is the supreme deity. This may involve:

One supreme God, and multiple gods and goddesses who are all simply manifestations or aspects of the supreme God. Hinduism is one example; they recognise Brahman as the single deity. Some Wiccans believe in a single deity about which they know little. They call the deity 'The One' or 'The All'. They recognise the God and Goddess as the male and female aspects of that supreme deity.

One chief God and multiple gods and goddesses of lesser power and importance. Ancient Greek and Roman religions were of this type.

One supreme God who rules over a country, and many other gods and goddesses who have similar jurisdiction over other territories. Liberal theologians believe that the ancient Israelites were henotheists; they worshipped Jehovah as the supreme God over Israel, but recognised the existence of Baal and other deities who ruled over other tribes.
