Soft polytheism is a variety of polytheism whose adherents believe in many Gods and Goddesses but consider them in some way as manifestations of a larger universal force rather than as distinct entities. Common types of soft polytheism include monolatry, henotheism, and polytheist mythologies coupled with forms of, pantheism or panentheism. Soft polytheism is generally distinguished from hard polytheism, the belief that the various Gods and Goddesses are distinct and seperate personal divine beings.

The term "soft polytheism" is most often used to describe a theological position in Neopaganism, sometimes expressed as "All Gods are One God and all Goddesses are one Goddess"
