Answer from: billy12008

I will answer because I have experience in all three.

1) all three belive in some sort of God. Monotheistic people believe in one whereas Polytheistic people believe in more than one, Animistic people believe in the force of nature which in its own could be considered a God.

2) the Polytheists and Animists both tend to believe in gods of nature though some tend to worship only one they follow a religion with more that one worshipable god.

now onto the contrasts

1)Monotheistic people believe in only one god, whereas the others believe in more than one.

2) Polythiests can be christians such as catholics but Animists believe in different things (E.G. wicca, black magic, ect.)

i hope this helps

Answer from: jumpman2344

Monotheism is the belief in the existence of only one God. The monotheistic religions are, in esteemed order of followers, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Judaism and Zoroastrianism.

Polytheism is a religious system whose followers believe in the existence of multiple gods, personification of natural elements, feelings and human activities, usually organized in a hierarchy or pantheon. It is not a difference of nomenclature - the different names of a single deity - but of different gods with clearly identifiable individual characteristics. In polytheism, each deity can be honored and invoked individually, depending on the aspects attributed to it.

Animism is a concept that encompasses various beliefs in which both objects and any element of the natural world (mountains, rivers, the sky, the earth, certain characteristic places, rocks, plants, animals, trees, etc.) are endowed with a soul or self-awareness.
