polytheism(n.)
“信仰不止一个神”,出现在1610年代,源自法语 polythéisme(16世纪),由希腊语 polytheia(“多神论”)、polytheos(“属于许多神的”)构成,来自 polys(“许多”,源自印欧词根 *pele- (1),“填满”)+ theos(“神”,源自印欧词根 *dhes-,用于形成宗教概念的词汇)。
The various modes of worship, which prevailed in the Roman world, were all considered by the people, as equally true; by the philosopher, as equally false; and by the magistrate, as equally useful. And thus toleration produced not only mutual indulgence, but even religious concord. [Gibbon]
在罗马世界,各种崇拜方式在人民看来都是同样真实的;在哲学家看来则都是同样虚假的;而在官员看来则都是同样有用的。因此,宽容不仅带来了相互包容,还促进了宗教上的和谐。[吉朋]
