Monotheism is the view that only one god exists. Monotheism can be either exclusive or inclusive. Exclusive monotheism denies that any other gods exist, while inclusive monotheism takes the view that all the different gods are just different forms of the one god. Thus inclusive monotheism is not incompatible with polytheism?.

Western religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) traditionally held to exclusive monotheism, though an increasing number of adherents of these religions today subscribe to the inclusive monotheist view.
