What is the difference between polytheistic and monotheistic religions?

Polytheistic religions believe in multiple gods or deities, while monotheistic religions believe in only one God. Polytheistic religions often involve worshiping a pantheon of gods who have different powers and attributes, while monotheistic religions believe in a single supreme being who is omnipotent and omniscient. Examples of polytheistic religions include Hinduism, ancient Greek and Roman religions, and some forms of modern Paganism, while examples of monotheistic religions include Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
