Is there anything that you can not do in the name of religion?
Thou shalt not murder. The ten commandments give us a pretty good outline for life. Since God has commanded that we follow them, to break a commandment in the name of religion would be counter-productive. Religion is a broad topic that covers all beliefs. Not all religions believe the same thing. You can't go against your religious beliefs in the name of your religion. A house divided will not stand.
Which major world religion was the first to be monotheistic?
The religion of the ancient Israelites was monotheistic. The Bible in Deuteronomy 6:4 states: "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah."About Islam: A Qurʼānic commentary states: "The People of the Book went wrong: The Jews in breaking their Covenant, and slandering Mary and Jesus . . . and the Christians in raising Jesus the Apostle to equality with God" by means of the Trinity doctrine.-Surah 4:153-176, AYA-- Islam is monotheistic.But even before the Israelites and Islam; Abraham, Noah, believed in the same God as the Israelites. I just don't think there was such a word as 'religion' back then to differentiate between various beliefs. (ie We don't know by what 'name', Abraham's, and Noah's 'religion' was called.)I would think that anyone in ancient history who worshipped Jehovah, they were monotheistic.
