Monolatrism
Monolatrism or monolatry (Greek: μόνος (monos) = single, and λατρεία (latreia) = worship) is is defined as "the recognition of the existence of many gods, but with the consistent worship of only one deity." In contrast to monotheism, monolatry accepts the existence of other gods; in contrast to polytheism, it regards only one god as worthy of worship. The term was perhaps first used by Julius Wellhausen.
