Diffused monotheism
Diffused monotheism (from Greek μόνος "one" and θεός "god," with Middle French diffuser, from Latin diffūsus, past participle of diffundere, from dis- + fundere) is a term primarily used by some scholars in the philosophy of religion and theology to refer to the belief in one Supreme Being who consigns authority to myriad lesser divinities or deities. It has been argued that this creates a belief system where one God is generally acknowledged but worship is centred on the other divinities, making it seem like polytheism while still established in monotheism.
