Unlike Polytheism, which believes that there is more than one God, or Atheism, which does not believe in any sort of supernatural power, Monotheism holds the belief that there is only one true God or as some Christians teach, 'the oneness of God’. For most people, when they hear of monotheism Judaism, Christianity, & Islam. However, many people do not know about what the oldest monotheistic religion could be, Zoroastrianism. Why? Well, because its ancient artifacts are hard to date. The earliest known artifacts appear to be from around 10,000 BC to 7,000 BC. Modern day followers of Zoroastrianism are very seclusive and its impossible to join them. One must be born into the religion.
Some people believe Monotheism is an evolution in religion. The less Gods the more consolidated the power. However, if that was true it would make sense that this god would brag about coming out as the greatest. The wrinkle is that according to believers their God does not do this. He is the only god and nobody is his equal. However, as we proceed to examine each of their holy text the validity of this claim will be put to the test.
