I would draw a distinction between what one personally believes and what one is willing to tolerate in others (or even encourages others to believe as did the Varanswal God Learners). I wouldn't call Theodosius the Great a henotheist merely because he was a devout christian yet ruled over many pagans and large parts of the God Learner Empire was similar to this IMO.

Good point.
