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.
