Diffused monotheism

Diffused monotheism

Diffused monotheism is a term primarily used by scholars in the philosophy of religion and theology to refer to the belief in one Supreme Being who consigns authority to myriad lesser divinities or deities, creating a belief system where the One God is generally acknowledged but worship is centred on the other divinities, making it seem like polytheism while still established in monotheism. Closely related to the concept of henotheism, it was originated by E. Bolaji Idowu in 1962.
