Almighty Jehovah ("God the Father") has no peers.
Yet, the Bible plainly mentions other "gods".
...(1 Corinthians 8:5) there are those who are called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth
Jesus as "a god": (John 1:1; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:18)
Angels as 'gods': (Psalm 82:1)
Satan as a 'god': (2 Corinthians 4:4)
Human judges as "gods": (Psalm 82:6-8)
It seems obvious that a person is not polytheistic merely because he believes the bible, or because he acknowledges the existence of these other so-called "gods". A person is polytheistic when he WORSHIPS multiple "gods", believing them to be peers with one another. Jehovah is "the one true God" in the sense that He has no rival.
...(Psalm 86:8,10) There is none like you among the gods, O Jehovah... You are God, you alone.
...(Exodus 22:20) One who sacrifices to any gods but Jehovah alone is to be devoted to destruction.
Jehovah's Witnesses are (by far) the largest Christian religion which rejects trinitarianism and the belief that Jesus is equal to Jehovah. Jehovah's Witnesses reserve the English word "worship" uniquely in connection with Jehovah God. The bible speaks of honoring Christ Jesus and doing obeisance to him, but only Jehovah the Father merits worshipful "exclusive devotion".
(Exodus 20:2,5) I am Jehovah your God... I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion
(Philippians 2:5,6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God

Depending on your religion, its from zero to the thousands.
Buddhism does not consider the existence of a god. Shintoism on the other hand has thousands of gods - there being a god of for all specie of living things.
