Bitheism

/ˈbaɪ.θi.ɪ.zəm/ noun

Definition

A religious belief system that acknowledges or worships two gods or two supreme divine beings.

Etymology

From Greek 'bi-' (two) and 'theos' (god), with the '-ism' suffix denoting a belief system. This theological term combines classical Greek roots to describe dualistic religious frameworks.

Kelly Says

Bitheism is different from dualism—it's not about good versus evil forces, but rather the belief that two gods genuinely exist with equal or nearly equal power, appearing in various ancient religions and philosophies.
