I think that This is correct, the very reason for English settlers
coming to U.S is haphazard. They came here in search for religious
freedom from the British crown, and forced there way onto America. From
then on they have used the land, gotten sick and died, searched for
treasure destroyed the land and fought with Indians. The situations that
brought them to settle in America and their dissensions afterwords set
the building blocks for an extremely haphazard way of life. They killed
many Indians made treaties and broke them, mined the earth for oil and
made war with Brittan 2 times. Also their greed for money and
industrialization was also out of control. All in all the settlements of
early America, was forced due to oppression and was never gilded into a
thoughtful manner.

It focused on monotheism instead of polytheism. Judaism religion only focused on one God and was very different from various religions during the ancient times and in the same period. They only had YHWH, as God. The description of this follows as YHWH instituted the laws, known as the Ten Commandments. And its laws as it states the first commandment:
There is no other gods other than YHWH. In which this verifies the divergence of the Judaism religion.... I hope this helps ^-^
