"Sciotheism" is a relatively rare word that refers to the belief in the existence of many gods, but without adherence to a particular organized religion. Synonyms for "sciotheism" include polytheism, pantheism, animism, and paganism. Polytheism is the belief in more than one god or goddess. Pantheism is the belief that all things in the universe are divine and interconnected. Animism is the belief that everything, even inanimate objects, has a spirit or essence. Paganism refers to any non-Abrahamic religion or belief system, often with a focus on nature worship. All of these synonyms share some similarities with sciotheism, but also have their own unique characteristics and nuances.
