Is polytheism better than monotheism? Or it the same thing?
It seems actually that monotheism is impossible because, for starters, there are bad things in the world, so monotheis need more supernatural beings like devils to "divert" the blame from God.
Indeed, religions like Christianity and Islam whose followers claim that their religion is monotheism are both actually Henotheism.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
