Polytheism
Definition of Polytheism as it relates to Religions, Atheism, Zoroastrianism
Polytheism under Zoroastrianism emphasizes the belief in multiple deities, each with distinct roles and attributes. It diverges from Zoroastrianism's strict dualistic principles, instead fostering a complex divine hierarchy. While Zoroastrianism promotes the worship of Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu, polytheistic traditions within this religion might incorporate additional deities, spirits, or supernatural entities. This belief system can be found in various cultural contexts and historical periods of Zoroastrianism, enriching religious practices and doctrines with diverse divine representations.
