Kathenotheism is a term coined by the
philologist Max Müller[?] to mean the worship of one
god at a time. It is closely related to
henotheism and
polytheism. Müller originally coined the term in reference to the
Vedas; he argued there are different supreme gods at different times. Kathenotheism is sometimes distinguished as follows: a henotheist worships only one God during their whole life (assuming they do not undergo a conversion); while they accept that other Gods exist they do not worship them. A kathenotheist worships one God at a time,
depending on their locality or the time.
