If pantheism is the the assertion that everybody /everything is a God by themselves, then it is obviously polytheism .Hinduism is more for the confused, -basically Hinduism is in Pantheism - that God is everything and everyone and everything is God. Pantheism is similar to polytheism (the belief in many gods) e.g aham Brahmasmi - I am brahman - I am god
The assertions found in Hinduism are diametrically opposite . Hindu assertions say that everything that exists in manifestation and that beyond manifestation is all one -'The Brahaman' . But , in our animalistic perception , we see everything as being different objects/beings . So as a starting point , in certain methods they call everybody/ everything as divine .From there , the methods proceed towards 'Aham Brahmasmi' or 'Shivoham' . These are supposed to be realizations which will be reached and are not to be believed from the beginning .
