    Monotheism is the belief in a single all-powerful god, as opposed to religions that believe in multiple gods like polytheism. Polytheism is the worship or belief in multiple deities usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses. Pantheism is the doctrine that God is the transcendent reality of which the material universe and human beings are only manifestations, involving a denial of God's personality and identifying God with nature.

    Deism ( i/di.zm/[1][2] or /de.zm/) is the belief that reason and observation of the natural
    world are sufficient to determine the existence of a Creator, accompanied with the rejection of
    authority as a source of religious knowledge.[3][4][5][6][7] Deism gained prominence in the 17th and 18th
    centuries during the Age of Enlightenmentespecially in Britain, France, Germany, and the United
    Statesamong intellectuals raised as Christians who believed in one god, but found fault
    with organized religion and did not believe in supernatural events such as miracles, the inerrancy of
    scriptures, or the Trinity.[8]
    Deism is derived from deus, the Latin word for god. Deistic ideas influenced several leaders of
    the American and French Revolutions.[9]Two main forms of deism currently exist: classical deism and
    modern deism.[10]

    God

    Primitive peoples believe in a large number of gods, each reigning over a family, clan,
    village, or certain localities such as a river or a mountain. That belief has been
    called henotheism, meaning close adherence to a certain god while recognizing the
    existence of others. (The sailors in the book of Jonah, for example.)
    Most primitives do believe in one supreme, "high" God, who is the first source of all
    existence. But that God is usually considered too distant to be concerned with the
    affairs of men.
    Primitive men are thus left to deal with local gods who are generally lacking in mercy
    and love. Their ways are not always predictable, and primitive men are usually
    concerned either to appease their anger or to gain material favors from them.
    The gods are generally connected in some way with dead ancestors. That is, they
    relate to the tribe or clan and support the customs that have in the past kept the group
    functioning.

    Concept of Divinity
    Undoubtedly, the most significant feature of the primitives religion is their notion
    of the deity. They are remarkably monotheistic, while allowing for considerable
    decadence and for the influx of alien ideas. In the degree to which they have
    remained truly primitive, they believe in some kind of Supreme Being, more or
    less clearly conceived; and where the idea is obscured by polytheism or a vague
    nature-worship, this may be shown to have happened within comparatively
    recent times through a process of retrogression
