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. Henotheists do not deny the existence lower deities.
Hinduism
Hinduism (monotheistic religion) is a monotheistic religion where people believe that all life has a supreme, divine soul. Hindus seek to attain "moksha", a state of absolute salvation. Moksha means that an individual is free from the cycle of rebirth and can be considered an absolute soul. Hindus also believe in the concept of karma, the belief that the spiritual ramifications of one's actions are balanced cyclically.
Although Hinduism is considered a monotheistic religion it's sometimes mistaken for a polytheistic one. This doesn't mean that Hindus don't believe in other gods, but that they don't worship them. They see their gods as personifications of a unifying force. Hindus believe Jesus to be a manifestation of the gods.
Hinduism is third most widely practiced religion worldwide, with the majority living in India. It is distinct from Abrahamic religions because it does not have a central religious authority or identifiable founder. It does however recognize other gods, and believes in an afterlife.
Greco-Roman religion
The Romans and Greeks of ancient Greece worshipped Gods every day. They also celebrated important life events with religious rituals. These ancient cultures believed in a number of gods, each with different powers. The Greek gods believed that there was balance between law and nature, while the Roman gods were more focused on power. They also incorporated foreign gods into their pantheon.
Greek philosophy emphasized the need for logical reasoning and reasoned questions. It was one of the earliest attempts at presenting rational explanations of the nature and origin of the universe. The Milesian School, a precursor to Greek philosophy, sought the underlying element that created all matter. The Stoic school later added political, ethical, and social theories on top of the previously developed philosophy. This philosophy was the foundation of Western philosophy.
Henotheism is a combination of the idea of God's unity and the belief that God exists in many different forms. All gods are one, even though they may be in many different forms. This is a fundamental tenet of Henotheism. While henotheism was present in paganism and early Christianity, it gradually fell into disuse after the twenties.
Assyrian religion
The Neo-Assyrian Empire is where the Assyrian, henotheistic religious tradition was born. Assur was the Assyrian supreme god, and his role in Assur's cosmology was considered ideal. Assur's philosophy was informed by Marduk and Ellil, which Assyrian philosophers also incorporated. Asshur was the Assyrian Supreme God and determined humanity's destiny in the distant future. He was also the most awe-inspiring figure.
The Assyrians ruled over an area that included modern Turkey and northern Mesopotamia. The Assyrian Empire reached its peak during the reign Ashurbanipal's (ca. 1750 BC, and it began to fall apart. More areas of the empire split after Ashurbanipal's death. The Assyrians surrendered to an alliance between nations in 612 BCE. The Kassites then ruled the region for 500 years.
These myths were based on a democratic pantheon. Although the gods had negotiated over the matters of this universe, one supreme god was eventually established. Babylon's Marduk was the local god of Babylon and rose to the level of god according to Babylonian mythology. He was granted greater powers and attributes as a result.
