Polytheism and Monotheism

Polytheism and Monotheism are very different and alike at the same time. For example both types of religions involve people praying to God(s) when they are in need. For example when people were first settling in to the world and starting civilization religion had just started. People basically lived off of the necessities of life. Rain as their source for watering their crops and rivers for water. So if there was not a lot of rain then one would pray to the rain God for it to rain. And if it did rain then they would thank the God.
When Monotheism emerged the average lifestyle for the planet was different. The basic necessities of life were mostly available. Soon people only needed one God. A all overseeing God who took care of everything else. Soon Judaism, Islam and Christianity emerged.
