Some Jewish and Islamic scholars regard the Christian doctrine of the trinity as bordering on polytheism, a view that Christians in general strongly reject.
Soft polytheists come to regard their multiplicity of gods as simply representing different aspects or facets of a greater divine unity: not a personal God as in the monotheistic religions, but an ultimate reality of the divine.
This concept, however, really should not be termed soft polytheism as monists believe in only one God, which can be expressed in a variety of forms or aspects.

To be an Integrational Polytheist, you have to agree that all religious and spiritual beliefs are in some way true (this requires a fairly open idea of what “truth” is), and you must also believe actively in people’s right to say, think and do whatever they want, so long as it harms no other.

There is a difference between seeing it disrespectful for caucasians and japanese to hang out and calling an american japanese.
Going back on topic, MrsSandalis personally I'd say research into a reconstructionalist path, however what you were describing in your first post is very close to definitional Integrational polytheism.
