Polytheism is the decentralization and democratization of divinity. It destroys the power of belief and also the power of belief in power, and instead, it believes in many beliefs and many powers. It is but a representation of the individual succumbing to the many as opposed to the one, changes and differences as opposed to persistence and unity, chaos as opposed to order.

It is more the victory of the principles of aristocracy and plutocracy than of democracy, imo.  Decentralization being the opposite of democracy.
