Monotheism did not become a religion. It is a type of religion. It is a religion which has only one god, as opposed to polytheism, which is a religion with many gods. There are various theories about the emergence of monotheist religions, but they are just that, theories.
Shared religion provides unity
Monotheism is the belief in one god (Jews, Christians, Muslims). Polytheism is the belief in many gods(ancient Greece). Egypt also had a polytheistic religion.
The traditional by Judaism, Christianity and Islam is that monotheism has existed since the time of creation. However, many scholars say that Judaic monotheism is of quite late origin. Given that Zoroastrianism is likely to be the earliest essentially monotheistic religion, then monotheism began when Zoroastrianism was founded - somewhere around 1700 BCE to perhaps 2000 BCE.
Your question is incomplete. Monotheism means belief in only one god (ex: Christianity) while polytheism means belief in more than one god (ex: ancient Greek).ANSWER 2:Assuming the question to be Where did monotheism begin?...All of the world's major religions began in the East. Hinduism, the oldest known religion (since the written word), began in India and is the first recognized religion to teach of a lone Creator God (Vishnu).
The ancient culture known for the concept of monotheism is the Hebrews, particularly as represented in ancient Israelite religion. They worshipped one God, Yahweh, and this belief is foundational to Judaism. This monotheistic tradition significantly influenced subsequent Abrahamic religions, including Christianity and Islam. The shift from polytheism to monotheism was a defining characteristic of their cultural and religious identity.
