AnswerMost of the world's religions are polytheistic. Monotheism seems to be only a Middle Eastern phenomenom that has succeeded substantially because of the coincident power of the Roman Empire.

Others say that there is a natural progression in worldviews: from animism to polytheism, then monotheism and finally Atheism. On this view, Chinese religion had simply not progressed as far as Middle Eastern thought.

China has a long history of diverse spiritual beliefs, including polytheistic traditions like Taoism and folk religion. These belief systems involve worshiping multiple deities, spirits, and ancestors to seek protection, guidance, and blessings in different aspects of life. Polytheism remains a significant aspect of Chinese culture and religious practices.
