Baal was a Canaanite deity which was commonly worshiped throughout the Levant region. According to Jewish Tradition (and the traditions of the other Abrahamic Faiths), Baal was exclusively a Canaanite deity that Israelites only worshiped because they had been seduced by the local idolatry of the Canaanites. Secular Historians argue that Baal was both part of the Canaanite and Israelite traditions. In the Israelite pantheon, he was the enemy of Yahweh and eventually sublimated out of worship.
