Are most of the religions in the US monothiestic? |
[Edit] |
Answer
No. Some are Tritheistic.
Tritheism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tritheism is the belief that there are three distinct, each powerful gods, who form a triad.
Generally three gods are envisaged as having separate powers and separate supreme beings or spheres of influence but working together. In this respect tritheism differs from dualism, which typically envisages two opposed Divine powers in conflict with one another. Ironically, there is no group that claims to believe in or teach tritheism; the term is solely used as an accusation against others, somewhat similar to the usage of the word "cult".
Moreover, it is used specifically in accusing a group of holding a distorted view of the Christian doctrine of Trinity, which the main branches consider heretical.
