Which of the following is a feature common to both monotheism and polytheism? A - HSC - SSCE Studies of Religion - Question 12 - 2017 - Paper 1

Both monotheism and polytheism recognize the existence of a transcendent dimension that shapes human beliefs and experiences. In monotheistic religions, this is often embodied in a singular, all-powerful deity who governs existence. In polytheistic systems, while there may be multiple deities, each often represents different aspects or forces of the transcendent. This commonality allows followers of both belief systems to seek meaning and purpose beyond the material world.
