Monolatry

Monolatry ( [monos] = single, and  [latreia] = worship) is belief that many gods exist, but that only one of them is worshipped.Frank E. Eakin, Jr. The Religion and Culture of Israel (Boston: Allyn and Bacon, 1971), 70. The term "monolatry" was perhaps first used by Julius Wellhausen.

Monolatry is different from monotheism, which asserts there is only one god, and henotheism, a religious system in which the believer worships one god without denying that others may worship different gods with equal validity.
