Monotheistic Religion

Monotheism is the religious practice of worshipping just one supreme and all powerful god. Throughout the world there are many religions that have a belief of worshipping only one god such as Baha'i Faith, Caodaiism, Cheondoism, Christianity, Deism, Eckankar, Islam, Judaism, Mandaeism, Rastafari, Shaivism, Seicho-no-Ie, Shaktism, Sikhism, Tengrism, Tenrissm, Vaishnavism, and Zoroastrianism. Those who only worship one god believe that their god is their creator and accomplished all of their work without the assistance from any other entity. Most monotheistic religions also deny the existence of any other gods and condemn the other religious faiths. The origin of monotheism is unclear with several claims that monotheism first began in Persian with the religion of Zoroastrianism, while others claim the Egyptian religion of Atenism was the first and the Hebrews consider their religion to be the original form of monotheism.

Many parochial universities and colleges have placed this type of religion above others viewing it as the only way to think of just who or what God is when compared to other ancient traditions such as the worshipping of several gods or deities. Abrahamic religions are those monotheistic faiths of the Near East that trace their origin to the prophet of Abraham. In early 2100AD, 54% or almost 4,000,000,000 people of the world's population consider themselves as monotheists of the Abrahamic religions. This would include the religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam among others. Of these three both Judaism and Islam do not consider Christianity as a monotheistic, but instead a polytheistic religion because of the worship of the Father, Son and Holy
