henotheism

<metaphysics, religion, philosophy of religion> term used to describe a belief in one god that at the same time does not deny the existence of other gods. This idea or practice is obviously opposed by monotheism, which regards henotheism's tolerance of other gods as patently ridiculous. (Reference from polytheism.)
