*In a nutshell...* Monotheism - Everything is united Polytheism - The more the merrier Henotheism - Handle my opinion but I can only choose one god Pantheism - Everything is made of God Deism - God did the Big Bang, after that He became anonymous Atheism - What even is a god? Antitheism - God never existed at all Agnosticism - Not sure 🤷 Animism - Every object has feelings Satanism - *A M E R I C A* Simulationism - We live in a game
No one would ever say Sikhism is Henotheistic, as it is simply not true. The Sikh understanding of metaphysics is a non-dual nature, and that nothing outside of God exists. This may sound similar to Panentheism, which is the understanding that God pervades all of creation and beyond it.
Correct, Sikhism is not Henotheistic. The most important message of sikhism denoted by this symbol: ੴ that you may have seen, literally means God is One (Ik Oangkar). Hence Sikhi is more of Pantheism or Monotheism.
Well all the indic religion and other asian religion can't be described or categorised as western term and philosophy. In Indic relegion every Religion is more or less influenced by each other's philosophy. Buddhism influenced by Hinduism and they started making idol aof buddha and started all pomp and ritual . Hinduism influenced by Buddhism and Jainism and started making temple and believe in non violence. Sikhissm influenced by Hinduism and they called God with name Ram , krishan, Hari. Jainism also influenced by Hinduism and started worshipping devi and other Hindu God as Concious entity. If you carefully observe hindu Jain baudh and sikh use om, onkar like religious symbols which looks very common and denotes the one god who lives in every one. So we are very influenced with each other so we can categories like western try. Indic religion have broad range of belief and faith we are not narrow minded so categoriesing us in just not practical.
Hinduism believes in polymorphism and not polytheism. It believes that there is one true God and he can take various forms so that you can worship the form you feel the most connected to.
polymorphism is not a type of faith, it's a characteristic (having multiple forms), while the type of faith for worshipping polymorphic god depends on how you worship, if you worship directly to the supreme god without worshipping the multiple forms, then it's henotheism (worship one god while accepting its multiple forms), if you worship the multiple forms, then it's polytheism (worshipping more than one god or form of god)
@@declanharp9633 one God is limiting concept but Truth is One which is not necessarily God but forms of this truth can be interpreted as God and Goddess
As mentioned in the video, Hinduism can fall into various categories. Historically, Hinduism has been interpreted as polytheism, animism, or henotheism. But modern interpretations of Hinduism can lead to Pantheism. Hinduism is like an open source religion where people are free to interpret it.
@@bagascyclops2400 Nope, it's Monism: Thier is only one God "Brahman" everything is made of Brahman and it can manifest itself however, whenever and with whatever abilities it wants
@@dhaval1489 Monism is not a type of belief, it's a law of things. Monotheism can include monism. Polytheism can include monism. Pantheism can include monism. Even originally the term monism is used in law, not faith/religion. It's not a type of belief. It's law of things opposite to dualism.
@@bagascyclops2400 See Our school of philosophy are extremely difficult to explain, We don't believe thier are multiple God's. Today is the festival of Holi, The festival of colors, go and read about it We believe God would literally manifest itself to protect his devotees out of a Column of steel and even find technicalities in his own Boon (given in different form) to protect the Good and defeat evil, it complicated and yet very fulfilling and blissful.
@@dhaval1489 Bruh, monism is not a type of belief. Monism, dualism, trinitarianism are types of law/nature. Types of belief are monotheism, polytheism, pantheism, etc... For example, Christianity is monotheism that use trinitarianism as the nature of its God. So, it's both monotheism (as type of belief) and trinitarianism (as type of law/nature). Hinduism is polytheism (as type of belief) and monism (as type of law/nature).
Hinduism is more panentheistic than pantheistic or polytheistic since in advaita philosophy and within most schools the panentheistic concept of 'brahman' supersedes simple pantheism and polytheism. Although hinduism is also pantheistic, polytheistic, henotheistic, atheistic etc. depending on schools and philosophies you follow. Its a pluralistic religion.
@@azathoth3726 It is monotheistic since the Vedas and Upanishads say that there is one supreme body without form and shape called the brahman which encapsulates the whole universe

What islamic belief Is.. (1) In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.* (2) All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. (3) the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. (4) Master of the Day of Judgment. (5) You Alone we worship, and you Alone we ask for help. (6) Guide us to the straight path. (7) the path of those You have blessed; not of those who have incurred Your wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.
I'm always fascinated by the rich tapestry of history, religion, and culture. These videos provide such valuable insights into our collective heritage.
There is a misconception in people's mind regarding to several hindu gods... different different Hindu gods represent different different energies of this universe..like- Lord Vishnu represents space.. Mahakal or shiv represents time. Brahma represents matter Devi Shakti represent energy. Seshnaag represent dark matter. Mahakali represent dark energy. Mahamaya represents matrix. Brahm Jyoti represent light.. Souls represent photons. Om represents sound..
Hinduism is diverse. It's allow every path for human salvation. From animism,polytheism, penetheism, monism, monotheism every philosophy exist within Hinduism.

I am pretty sure that sikhism is NOT henotheism but is actually monotheism along with islam, Christianity and judaism as like them, we believe in one true god "weheguru". Our Founder guru nanak strongly believed in the concept of one true god and denied duality and the concept of polytheseim.
Hinduism is not just polytheistic, all the Upanishads declare there is only one eternal consciousness which they call “Brahman”, it is this one consciousness that exists in many superior beings and even in our very core of each one of us as our own consciousness.
@@himanshugurjar9002 I agree, I don’t think Hinduism can be labeled with any of these words, I would say it’s the great science of life and the Cosmos because it contains the methodologies to achieve inner peace and fulfillment and living in union with the Cosmos.
Hinduism = Classifed Polytheism, Polymorphic Monotheism, qualified Monotheism, Henotheism,Monism, qualified Monism Classified Polytheism = Majority cultural Hindus (Shiva family worship, Vishnu family, Adi Shakti and her different regional manifestation, ancestor worship, kuldevta worship,grahm devta worship,navgraha worship) Note here all worship are not same form of worship, different form worship intention is there for different deities and figures Cultural Hindus goal is not moksha, their goal is to just live a basic dharmic life Polymorphic Monotheist = Gaudiya Vaishnavite Hindus Qualified Monotheism ( One all Pervading God who is Saguna and is formless different than Abrahamic Monotheism where God is not all pervading) = Reform movement organisation like arya samaj,brahmo samaj Henotheist = Shaivite, Vaishnavite Shakta Hindus Monist = Smartha Hindus, Kashmir Shaivite Hindus Qualified monist = Vaishnavite hindus (Sri sampradaya), Shaivite and Shakta sects
@@Noah73827 - False. Only 7% of all wars in human history were caused by religion, and Christians invented hospitals and universities. Some of the most intelligent minds in human history were religious, including Sir Issac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Gregor Mendel, Sir Francis Bacon, Renes Descartes, Galileo, Copernicus, Albert Einstein (to a certain extent; he was definitely not anti-religion), the guy who invented the MRI, etc. Most Nobel Peace Prize winners were religious, and most of them were Christians. Science is awesome, but it cannot teach us meaning of life, morality, or inherent human value. Those are all personal beliefs which cannot be determined by empirical science. Religion has certainly had its shortcomings, but it can never be replaced. Religion is correlated with positive mental health benefits, and Gen Z, the least religious generation so far, has the most mental health problems.
Hinduism is more of a common culture rather than a strict religion. The term Hindu is a geographical indicator of people living near Indus Valley rather than a religion. Concept of Dharm is defined more like a moral duty that should be practiced by a person. Any person who do their duty is Dharmic so anyone in the world can be considered Dharmic. This is why you can’t interpret Hinduism as a religion. It is called Sanatan Dharm or the eternal law. Modern interpretation rose when invaders actively started conversion of people of India to Muslim religion and was created as a reaction to preserve the ancient ways. Sanatan Dharma is more universal concept not related to religious expansion
Respectfully, there are many religions in the world, and each offers a unique path to understanding the divine. What makes (insert your religion) meaningful to you might not resonate with someone from a different faith tradition. Ultimately, the question of truth is a deeply personal one. ❤✨ :)
@@5-juneNot the point. They think that god is present in every object that helps us live (or is the cause of life). It's called being grateful. It's not monotheism presented in Abrahamic religions but it is also a sort of monotheism. Ps, who said they worship pigs?
@5-june that's just in islam because you believe God is somewhere over the skies. We belive God is everywhere so treating other living beings with dignity is not a problem in hinduism
The great spiritual teacher Sri Ramakrishna thought the way very beautifully. He said,"As many faiths, so many paths". There is one God, but different people worship it in different ways. Some worship God as Shiva, some as Allah while some as the Father. Actually, that is the Main thought of Hinduism. Hinduism is polytheistically monotheistic. It believes is Brahman, the ultimate truth.The different Gods are part and form of it.
Incorrect, Sikhism is not henotheism, we believe in 1 god we don't say there's more than 1 god but we respect what others think we don't try proving them wrong since judging someone else and try to correct them in a forceful way is not the right way, please do research because we are literally monotheistic
Hinduism is also monotheistic . Yes, they worship idols ( or different gods as Westerners and Muslim likes to say) but these forms are various manifestations of one supreme God who doesn't have a material form . So Hindus imagine the unimaginable supreme god as the manifestation as each of those manifestations resembles the goods of supreme and bads of the universe. ( you can deny or simply not accept any verse of Veda or Geeta since they are not perfect (not written by supreme being but monks who meditated) and still be a hindu)
When you accept God is unimaginable then why do you imagine him as his creations? Idol is made of sand which is a God's creation just like how he created you. The sand is no way superior than you. Then according to you, you should worship yourself because you are the best creation of God. Also you don't have to imagine everything for you to believe. For example, can you imagine how your soul looks like? Does it look like an idol(no)? But you believe your soul exists. Why can't you then believe God exist without imagining him as your wish?
@@aft0235 Hindu worship many deties and not every deity is suppose to be Godhead in Hindu Denomination First you know how many Hindu Denomination, There 4 In this four Hindu Denomination we found only 3 Major Godhead Shiva,Adi Shakti, Vishnu Each Denomination believe their Godhead to be supreme soul is formless Even the soul of Godhead is all pervading There are some concept like subtle body causal body and gross you should first know that Godhead is not limited but one can't worship infinite qualities of Godhead Godhead is not limited mind is limited,but it not contradictory for hindu as Godhead is essence not entity in Hinduism Idol worshipping are of two types Generally Hindu worship Idols as a part of culture but in sprituality there are some variation and explaination to it

@@saileshray9840 not xenophobic my brother . The matter of fact is that most of the people follow religions that their parents and culture promote not what they comprehend In Islam only the one who rejects the true message will abide in hell..

I love the detail you added to the character representing monotheism resembling that of Muslim attire. Out of all the people I met, Muslims are the most direct and sure of the oneness of God and profess it with no complications.
I am a follower of the egër which means I believe in the old faith of Illyria(now Albania and Kosovo). I follow the way of the Ujku which is that all humans were originaly Lycans but though man fall into modernity they were imprisoned in the human form but those who did not forsake the Gods were allowed to shift between the 2 forms. Thus de-evolving the Likani into the Lycans. We seek redemption thought struggle and fighting and to restore the Old way of things and hopefully return to the Likani of old and earn the forgiveness of the gods and free our souls from the mortal plain. It sounds odd to those who do not know about it or don't believe but it is the truth.
Hinduism has many darshana not only monotheism in hinduism their is charvaka darshana which is atheist where as Dwait ,adwait . We don't fight over it we have all of them in our dharma, but the rules should be followed to preserve truth and serve world with peace and positivity. In hinduism there is not restrictions over others. We don't impose our beliefs over others like Islam.

Hinduism is a cluster of different cultures. Some of them are Monotheistic, some are Polytheistic, some are agnostic, etc. I come from a Monotheistic clan. Worship yours, respect all.
Incorrect Sikhism is Monotheistic - One God is literally the first thing they say Ek Onkar - do proper research before stating incorrect points - and people who keep saying god is everywhere - Sikhs do not believe in form or a physical concept of God - hence there is One God.(Waheguru)

Christianity is a Pagan religion. It was never Monotheistic. Jesus Himself wasnt a Christian. He was a Jew who preached about One God. Islam and Judaism are only Monotheisc religion in the world
@@TrickXxlJesus didn't "preach about one God". He introduced the Kingdom of God on earth, He and the Father are One. He is God. He came so that men may have life in abundance, through His death and sacrifice which reconciles us to Himself (which was the only legal solution to our seperation from God, as the earth was given to men, and is still run by men until this day), as His sacrifice abolishes the sin nature of our flesh which seperates us from God, and is activated when we surrender our lives to Him and recognize that He came, died and was resurrected for our sakes. Trinity literally means 3 in 1, which is still one. Three attributes, three persons, one God. Even in the book of Genesis God says "let us make men in OUR image". Jesus also suggests multiple times that He is God revealed in the flesh (John 8:58). No, Jesus was not a Christian. He IS the Christ. All those who follow His commands, teachings and ways are considered Christians, as they model their lives after Christ.

Is this video created prior doing a thorough study of the known religions and putting enough effort with the classification? It's feeling like those classifications are off the road a bit.
CORRECT: SIKHISM also believes in one GOD and denies of any type of another GOD they are messengers of god.the sikh 11 guru (guru granth saheb)starts with "EK ONKAR" which means the only and the one god
I would like to disagree with the interpretation of Hinduism in this video as I personally believe that it is a Polymorphic-monotheistic religion as we believe in one god, Brahman, and the other gods are avatars, or morphic versions set to be different things and are part of brahman. An example I would say is that think of Brahman as a ocean and the gods as drops of water from the ocean.
Buddhism may be non-theist. We don't really worry about those classifications. We respect any god from any religion, but we don't depend on them. Buddhism doesn't recognize a God at all ( the creator). "Devas" mentioned in buddhism are supernatural beings that are usually seen as gods, but they don't have any power to control the universe or to create the universe. They represent another species that is subjected to death, karma and samsara like humans, animals and others until they realize Nibbana.
All religions are connected, but connected in a more vertical manner. This also means that every religion is true, but some are more true than others. True in the sense of how it reveals reality to us and on how it reveals the God of all gods to us.
