Question

What were the consequences of being monotheistic Society located in the middle of other polytheistic civilization?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The consequence of being a monotheistic society located in the middle of other polytheistic civilizations is that there are some conflicts in the belief system that can produce confrontations with other civilizations who have a polytheistic approach and worship many gods.

That is why the change is so drastic and is difficult for the people to radically change their religious belief and practice after having professed a polytheistic religion. As a good example, we have the case of Father Abraham, a Babylonian considered the beginner of the monotheistic approach to religion. Abraham told his people to believe in one God, the Supreme one God. Years later, we have the story of Moses that found it very difficult to convince his people to worship just one supreme God, instead of worshiping the many gods they had.
