Question

What is the term for someone who believes in more than one God?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Polytheist

This is a one-word substitution question seeking the single term for a person who believes in more than one God.

The prefix poly- means many and theos means god, so a polytheist is someone who believes in many gods.

This exactly matches the definition of belief in more than one God, making Polytheist the correct term.

A Monotheist (prefix mono- meaning one) believes in only a single God, which is the opposite idea.

An Atheist does not believe in the existence of any God at all, so it does not fit.

An Agnostic holds that the existence of God is unknown or unknowable, which again does not mean belief in many gods.

Therefore the precise word for belief in more than one God is Polytheist.

Hence the correct answer is Polytheist.
