kathenotheism
A technical term in religious studies referring to the worship of one god at a time as supreme without denying the existence of other gods. Rare outside academic contexts.
Characteristics of kathenotheism can be seen in ancient Indian religions.
Polytheism, the belief in or worship of multiple gods, whereas kathenotheism focuses on one god at a time.
Monotheism, the belief in a single god, which differs from kathenotheism's temporary elevation of one god among many.
A compound of 交替 (alternation) and 神教 (theistic religion), likely coined as a translation of the English term 'kathenotheism'.
