prettygoodwordhenotheism - n., the worship of one god without denying the existence of other gods.
From Greek heno- (from heis, hen-, one) + theos, god, coined in the 19th century. The Israelites were henotheists -- the commandment was to have "no other gods before me"; Wikipedia, as usual, has more.
