polytheists
Worshippers of many
Polytheists are people who believe in or worship multiple gods.
The term contrasts with monotheists, who recognize only one god: Ancient Greeks and Romans were polytheists.
Hindus are sometimes characterized as polytheists, though the tradition's relationship to its many deities is more complex than simple plurality suggests.
