Best Answer

In three ways: by having a single omnipotent God instead of a number of gods; by having a god who dictated a great number of rules to live by instead of those other gods who were only there for protection or for making things happen - like the growing of crops. And finally, because their religion told them that they were 'God's chosen people" and had a God-given right to a certain area of land, things that bedevil relations in the Middle East to this day.
