→The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: Henotheistic and not polytheistic

According to the Gospel Coalition website:
{{Cquote|The theologian Stephen Robinson denies that [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints|Mormonism]] is polytheistic, and strictly speaking he is right. Polytheism portrays a world in which competing gods either vie for ultimate authority or have delimited provinces over which they rule. The Mormon picture is closer to henotheism, which posits a supreme God over other lesser, subordinate gods. The Mormons say that the [[God the Father|Father]] is at least functionally over the [[Jesus|Son]] and the [[Holy Ghost]], and they are the only Gods with which we have to do.<ref>[https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/the-faqs-are-mormons-christian/ The FAQs: Are Mormons Christian?] by Joe Carter</ref>}}
