Monotheism vs. Polytheism
#2
RE: Monotheism vs. Polytheism
Yuval Harari in his book, A brief history of humankind talks about the two. Polytheism is more open and tolerant but lacks order. Monotheism offers more order and discipline but lacks pluralism.

Societies throughout the history have adopted both at one time or the other as solutions to the problems of the time. Post 17th century Enlightenment, both are dying breed.
