Monotheism Vs. Polytheism

Based on what I learned, there are many things to distinguish the type of religion Monotheism and Polytheism are. One thing I found that makes them both similar is the fact that both religions require the fact that people are praying to their gods for a blessing, health, etc.  However, after this there were many contrasts between them. One of the most important factors is that polytheism have many gods while monotheism have only god. Additionally, Polytheism is classified as inclusive, while monotheism is classified as being exclusive. Also, Monotheism has led to acts of terrorism to be done in the name of the lord. Also, through the beginning of time, the majority of the people that lived were polytheism, but as time passed, people made significant acts  of forming monotheism, and through cultural diffusion, they managed to spread it so that in the present day, monotheism is typical. There are some example for Monotheistic religions. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam believe in only one god though followers of Christianity may worship Jesus Christ. Firstly, before the Jews appear, Judaism and Christianity are similar, they believe in the same god. For Islam, the largest religion, also believe in only one god, Allah. One con I found based on monotheism is that they look down upon other's beliefs, although some people find it easier to devote their time to only one god, instead of the many gods there are in polytheism. The advantage for polytheism, however, is that it allows a political structure that is not limited by a single religious practice to spread across unrelated cultures, adopting their gods into the pantheon of the rulers. However,where there is no consensus on correct social norms, war cults will want to act in a warlike fashion.
