Bitheist: noun. Someone who believes in
two gods, no more, no fewer. Two is the number of gods a bitheist worships, and the number of gods worshipped by a bitheist is two. Bitheism is often confused with Manicheanism and other dualist
theologies, such as Zoroastrianism, but bitheism
is different from these in two ways. Firstly, it is not a religion; it is a
belief rather than a system of beliefs, a belief which is shared by and not
exclusive to a number of religions. Secondly, it does not prescribe dualism: Bitheism is defined strictly by belief
in two gods. Whether these gods represent antithetical values is a further
article of faith.
