Monotheism refers to the belief in a single, universal God. Common examples are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Forms of monotheism can also be found in other religions including Sikhism, Zoroastrianism and the Bahá'í Faith.
Zoroastrianism is considered by many scholars to be the earliest example of monotheistic belief. Others consider Judaism to be the original form of monotheism, while others yet think it originated in Egypt.
It is not to be confused with henotheism (the belief in one god over and above other gods that exist). Another source of confusion are claims by representatives of some religions that other religions are not monotheistic because the latter do not adhere to some specific criteria defined by the former.
