Wendy had watched a documentary that discussed the religious traditions of, and the many gods worshiped by, the citizens of the Aztec cities of Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco. She asserted to a friend "No wonder their civilization failed; everyone knows there's only one true god." How would Wendy's religious belief be classified?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wendy's belief in "one true god" classifies her as a monotheist, who believes in the existence of only one God. Her statement that the Aztec civilization failed due to their polytheistic beliefs exhibits ethnocentrism, which is the belief that one's own cultural or religious beliefs are superior to others. However, this does not classify as her religious belief.
