The ONLY one known to exist is Judaism. I would suggest to you that this system is not polytheistic because it was not created by man.
It might be except for the obvious fact that not all religions believe in a ?supreme being? or a many ?supreme beings.?

Those types of religions are VERY DIFFERENT from the indigenous types found in primitive cultures. You can't use them as evidence because they do not originate as a response to fear and uncertainty in the same way that polytheistic religious systems do. The majority of such systems evolve out of educated societies.
