Monotheistic is the belief in one god. Christianity, Islam, most of the major religions of the world are monotheistic. Polytheistic is the belief in many gods. The religions of the ancient Egyptians and the Greeks and Romans would be an example of polytheistic cultures.

Monotheistic (or monotheism) is belief in a single god or goddess (generally a god though)
Polytheistic (or polytheism) is the belief in multiple gods and/or goddesses.
Examples of polytheism would be ancient Greeks and ancient Romans.

to define them the simplest way is to break down the word into its core parts:
monotheistic => mono + theistic (theism) => one + belief (in god)
polytheistic => poly + theistic (theism) => many + belief (in god)
therefore monotheistic means you believe in one god (i.e. Christianity)
whereas polytheistic means you believe in multiple gods (i.e. the Greek Pantheon)
for more info, look the words in the dictionary

Basically, MONOTHEISM is the belief in one single diety (God) Christianity is a monotheistic religion.
POLYTHEISM is the belief in more than one god, like the ancient Egyptians' religion was.

Mono means one, and theistic refers to god, so the whole word means belief in one god. Poly means many, so polytheistic means belief in many gods. You should have asked this in the religion section.
