Monotheism

/ˈmɒnəθiˌɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The belief in or worship of one supreme deity. This religious doctrine holds that there is only one God who is the ultimate reality and creator of the universe.

Etymology

From Greek 'monos' (single, one) + 'theos' (god) + '-ism' (doctrine). The term was coined in the 17th century to distinguish religions worshipping one god from those worshipping many.

Kelly Says

Monotheism revolutionized human civilization by creating unified moral codes and centralized religious authority! The three Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) all trace back to Abraham's radical idea that there was only one God, fundamentally reshaping how societies organize around shared beliefs.
