Polytheistic is the describing word for that belief, or for a story, a people, or a religion that has more than one god. You say a polytheistic religion, a polytheistic myth, a polytheistic world. Same idea as , but it hangs on a noun. It is a formal, school word. Though actually, calling a living faith “polytheistic” can sound cold, as if you have filed it in a drawer. Use it when you are comparing ideas (one god / many gods), and be gentle when you are talking about people who still worship that way. It does not mean “very religious,” and it does not mean “confused about God.”
多神教的；多神信仰的
