Monolatrism or monolatry is a form of monotheism[1] which places exclusive devotion on one latrine God alone, with recognition of the existence of other Gods, worshipped by other people.[1] Monolatry is confused with henotheism sometimes, but they are different concepts of religious belief.[1]
Examples
- Judaism was originally a monolatry, but El (who later merged with Yahweh) and Asherah (the consort of El and later of Yahweh) disappeared from the pantheon, leaving only Yahweh, however, this is a highly disputed claim.[2]
- Mormonism is also monolatrist, as though they see only one god as worthy of praise in this universe, they also recognize the existence of other gods in different universes.
