My answer is coming from a presupposition that all religions are man-made and that Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all have values and beliefs found in earlier animistic religions. Zoroaster (or Zarathustra) was the first to hold a belief in monotheism (Zoroastrianism's god is Ahura Mazda) and start a religion based on monotheism. prior to him, religions were mainly polytheistic. the idea of Satan, the idea of angels and demons, the final resurrection and final judgement are also other concepts that were found first in Zoroastrianism. Countries in the Middle East have many cultural influences from Zoroastrianism as well, especially Iran, formerly known as Persia, where Zoroaster spread his religion. The flame around the head of pious or holy individuals in old Islamic art is something originating in Zoroastrianism with their strong reverence for fire.
