Almost all rulers from the Antiquity belived, and/or forced their people to believe, they had the right to rule by direct divine intervention.

Judaism, with Abram (later renamed Abraham by Yahweh), took a step further.

The followers of Abram, after the Sacred Covenant, were entitled as the "God's Chosen People", which did not happened in other ancient religions, who respected the existence of other gods.

Christians, as well as buddhists, animists or any other religion followers, are not considered as "Chosen People" by Yahweh.

Modern anthropology consider these considerations as a form of ethnocentrism.
