Maybe Utah if Mormons can be considered polytheistic in their own way. I hear that they believe they will be gods in the afterlife. I think they might believe that God was only one God out of many..Dont quote me. However I do know they think they will be gods in the afterlife. I know Mormons are not traditionally considered polytheistic but still.
Quote:
Smith taught that the Father and the Son were distinct personal members of the Godhead as early as 1832; Smith's public teachings described the Father and Son as possessing distinct physical bodies, being one together with the Holy Ghost, not in material substance, but in spirit, glory, and purpose.
Mormons (and many non-Mormon theologians) consider Mormons to believe in
Social trinitarianism.
Some non-Mormon Christians consider Mormons to engage in
Tritheism, but that's also a fairly common allegation for some Christians to level against other Christians, at least historically. Mainstream Christianity levelled that allegation towards some heretical sects, but other heretical sects accused mainstream Christianity of it as well.
Strict monotheists often dismiss all forms of trinitarianism as tritheism. Triad gods were common in various Indo-European pagan religions.
