Echad polygamy is considered 'oneness' polygamy where one man is married to multiple women but the women are considered married to eachother which permits bisexuality.
Traditional polygamy is considered when a man is married to multiple woman but each relationship is a separate marriage.

No. I'm a catholic and any kind of polygamy is forbidden. Besides, my gf will not share me with any other girl and I wouldn't want her to. I love her too much.

No Polygamy or Polyamory is not a religion.
There are many people throughout the world and throughout thousands of years of religions and cultures were Polygamy or Polyamory is a normal thing, like going to the movies on a Saturday night. Like going to your local house of worship on a Sunday morning. Like eating breakfast. You don't think about it. It is the traits & beliefs that you have inherited from past generations. If you take the world right now for example. There are 6 Billion people; can you imagine that, we'll try again 6 Billion. Maybe you can't grasp that concept, but we'll go on. There are 300 Million people in the U.S.. Now who thinks all the U.S. citizens are of one track-minded 50's life-style thinking? Not to many, we are all different and should be tolerant of each others life style's etc... Like it or not, there are mormons, white's, blacks, mexican's, catholics, jews, gays, short & tall people, fat and skinny, old & kids, hermits, partners, and polygamists. We can't and should not; want to try ti get rid of them all, lets live with each other, be tolerant, and mind our business.. hehehe...
A better relationship is an honest long term relationship, wether it's with yourself another male or female, or more than two people. As long as it's consenting adults, mind your business. What religion, political party, or relationship orientation are you? Right. Non of your business.
Polyamory and not polygamy; is not for everyone. Just like; being gay, getting married, or even having a partner period; is not for everyone. Now I do not recommend it. It is tough to have and keep one woman, let alone two. You must know that women are very emotional and envious of other women. If it is a relationship of a Man and one or more Women, then the women must; get along. They must be like sisters and support each other till death does them part, if it is a long term relationship. Love is the key. Polyamory is not swinging. There must be a head to the family, it is a family; even a couple, just two people whether a male/female - gay/gay whatever, needs a lead. It does not matter if it is the male or female who is dominant, one must take the head. It is a compromise, a negotiation. There must be rules. Of course as a Man, you must first woo one woman first, and invite her to your idea. This idea must be with absolute truth to your intentions. After that, then you may look for the second conquest. It is what it is, a romantic conquest of the heart. With the second women you must also be very truthful from the beginning. Many women will shy from it and will express their disinterest, others will look into it and may have already have contemplated these options. As long as a Man can keep, afford, satisfy (without becoming a *****), and love both women and keep a conscious focus on the delegation of attention for each women, it could last forever. It is a very rare relationship, very complex; but possible, with the right people, the right time, and adequate preparation.

We are Catholic, so, neither.
I'm not gay so echad polygamy would be kinda gross anyway.
And If my religion permitted polygamy, hubby would have to stick with Wife No. 2,3, 4, whatever because I do not want an STD.

In Islam such things as Echat Polygamy would not be allowed for it is a form of homosexuality.
Even though we have polygamous families who all live in large homes together as a huge group, the husband only visits one wife at a time and the wives do not have sexual relationships between each other.

My religion says whatever a couple agrees to is fine. For me personally, I do like the idea of polygamy. I have never been one to juggle in the dating world and I don't like to be juggled. I prefer one on one relationships. It's only in a one on one relationship that you can have true intimacy. Polygamy is too easy, particularly if you think it should only be the man who is entitled to multiple spouses (but that's another topic altogether).

I have not yet seen 1 man on the face of the earth that can treat both women or 3 or 4 or whatever equally and fairly as the lord the absolute one discribed for condition of such things.
