From Polytheism to Monotheism

Find out how our religious beliefs went from Polytheistic (belief in many gods) to Monotheistic (belief in only one God) with the rise of Judaism.

Dear, did you study theology / religion? Do you know any sources about the academic interpretation of strict polytheism vs monist polytheism? Thank you

As in ancient times, our life and the world is full of mysteries, but at times we amuse ourselves with stories.

A bit of contribution to mythology...

Multiple Gods or gods make more stable and happy supreme divine beings than a single God or god alone.

From history, we should note that the Israelites before becoming monotheists were previously polytheists.

For those who like myths we may speculate one. The word creator when referred to the universe is a human defined concept. Many people also attrubute this creator to God which is also defined by humans.

No actual manifestation or substantial proof have yet been found of God or gods. However, let us dive a bit into speculation of how religious beliefs may have been formed.

Let us speculate a hypothesis of how certain civilizations prefer polytheistic religions over monotheistic religions. “What is the advantage of having many gods over a single god?”

Fundamentally, having many gods increases the chances of survival of the first humans and other living things. Supposing a god is not eternal and is not the creator of living things, but a planter of living things, woudn’t it make more sense to have more gods than a single god put the first living things on earth and let these living things survive and thrive?

How Life and Diversity of Humans Started

Since each god had not brought exactly the same type of essence of life (or seeds as analogy) then some diversity in physical features and culture would have been expected. Thus, we have dark skin humans, brown skin humans, short humans, tall humans, black hair humans, blond hair humans, etc.

The narrated myth suitably addresses some concerns about why diversities exist in the physical traits and religions of human beings.

God = Supreme Being = Logic dictates there is only One.

People have been worshiping one god far longer than they have been worshiping many. Artifacts and other stuff like that prove this
