Abraham (originally Abram) grew up in the city of Ur, when Nimrod's dictatorial idolatrous cult was at its height. Jewish tradition states that he did not blindly accept everything he was indoctrinated with, even though threats were used. Rather, he contemplated the likelihood, morality and logic of the ubiquitous idolatry; and, after a lot of thought he arrived at the conclusion that there must be One God. Later in life, he located elders (Shem and a couple of others) who had never fallen for the idolatry, and they confirmed his realizations.
