Whenever you hear a Christian talk about Satan, you are hearing about polytheism.

"Polytheism is belief in, or worship of, multiple gods or dieties. The word comes from the Greek words poly+theoi, literally "many gods." Ancient religion was polytheistic, holding to a pantheon of traditional deities. The belief in many gods does not necessarily preclude the belief in an all-powerful all-knowing supreme being, as the ruler and parent (often king and father) of gods and mankind."
Happy?

Traditional (Eygptian, Roman, Greek) polytheism is just too complicated. At the core, humans are predisposed to simplification. It is just much less work to worship and keep on good terms with one god who does everything than 30 who compete for attention, $, sacrifices. etc.

Well, there's Hinduism
And there have been wars fought over whether Christianity is inherently polytheistic through interpretation of the trinity...
