2 Polytheism POLYTHEISM
3 POLYTHEISM Belief in, or worship of, multiple deities or gods. Gods are conceived as complex personages of greater or lesser status, with individual skills, needs, desires and stories. The gods are not always omnipotent or omniscient; rather, they are often portrayed as similar to humans in their personality traits, but with additional individual powers, abilities, knowledge or perceptions. Sumerian gods, the Egyptian gods, the Ancient Greek religion, Norse Æsir and Vanir, the Yoruba Orisha, the Aztec gods, and many others.
4 The sound OM, or AUM, is the most sacred symbol for Hindus. It is often used in prayer HINDUISM
