Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The debate is centered around the religious concept of monotheism, which is the belief in one God, versus polytheism, which is the belief in multiple gods. The mullah's argument is that the Catholic faith, with its belief in the Holy Trinity, is closer to polytheism than true monotheism. Therefore, the best choice is B, monotheism.
