Imagine a world where every natural event, like thunder, the sun rising, or even love, was caused by a different god. That’s how some people see the world: with many gods doing many things. This is called polytheism, and it helps explain why some believe in more than one god.
Examples
- A child might believe in a god for rain and another for snow.
- Some people think about having different gods for happiness and sadness.
- You could imagine one god who helps you win games, and another who makes you lose.
