Henotheism means worshipping one supreme god. This term was first coined by Friedrich Schelling and Friedrich Welcker to describe the primitive monotheism of ancient Greeks. A person who adheres to henotheism cannot deny the existence or power of lower deities.
Hinduism
Hinduism can be described as a monotheistic religion. It holds that there is one supreme soul and it lives within all living creatures. Hindus seek to attain "moksha", a state of absolute salvation. Upon attaining moksha, an individual is exempt from rebirth and becomes part of an absolute soul. Hindus believe in the concept karma, which is the belief that one's spiritual ramifications are balanced cyclically.
Hinduism is a monotheistic religion. However, it's often mistakenly viewed as a pluralistic religion. While this does not mean Hindus aren't religious believers in other gods or worship them, it does indicate that they do not believe in them. They view their gods as personifications a unifying power. Hindus believe Jesus Christ is a manifestation or the gods.
The third most popular religion is Hinduism, which has the majority of its adherents residing in India. It is unique among Abrahamic religions in the fact that it has no identified founder or central religious authority. It recognizes other gods and believes that there is an afterlife.
Greco-Roman religion
The ancient Greeks and Romans worshipped gods each day and celebrated major life events with religious rituals. These ancient cultures believed there were many gods and each one had different powers. Greek gods believed in a balance between nature and law, while Roman gods focused on raw power. They also included foreign gods into the pantheon.
Greek philosophy emphasized the need for logical reasoning and reasoned questions. It was one among the earliest attempts to explain rationally the origin and nature the universe. The Milesian School was a precursor to Greek Philosophy. They sought an underlying factor that formed all matter. The Stoic school developed a new philosophy, adding political, social, and ethical theories. This philosophy is the foundation of Western philosophy.
Henotheism combines the idea of the unity of God with the idea that God exists in many forms. While the gods may exist in different forms, all of them are first. This is the core tenet henotheism. Henotheism existed in paganism and early Christianity but it fell into decline after the twenties.
Assyrian religion
The Neo-Assyrian Empire saw the development of an Assyrian religious tradition that was henotheistic and henotheistic. Assur was the Assyrian supreme god, and his role in Assur's cosmology was considered ideal. Assur's worldview was developed by Assyrian philosophers who incorporated Marduk's and Ellil's traits. Asshur, Assyrians' supreme god, set human destiny for the distant future and was the ultimate awe inspiring figure.
The Assyrians ruled over an area that included modern Turkey and northern Mesopotamia. The Assyrian empire reached its height during the reign of Ashurbanipal (ca. 1750 BC and started to crumble. More areas of the empire split after Ashurbanipal's death. In 612 BCE the Assyrians lost to an alliance made up of nations. For more than 500 years, the Kassites ruled the area.
These myths were based on a democratic pantheon. The gods dealt with the issues of the universe but ultimately one supreme god emerged. Babylon's local god Marduk rose to the rank of god in Babylonian mythology. He was granted greater powers and attributes as a result.
