GPT-4o mini
Monotheism is the belief in the existence of a single, all-powerful deity who is the sole god. This contrasts with polytheism, which is the belief in multiple gods. Monotheistic religions emphasize the singular nature of God and typically attribute to this deity the qualities of omnipotence (all-powerful), omniscience (all-knowing), and omnipresence (present everywhere).
Major monotheistic religions include:
1. **Judaism**: The belief in one God who revealed Himself through scriptures and prophets.
2. **Christianity**: The belief in one God manifested in three persons (the Holy Trinity) – the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.
3. **Islam**: The belief in one God (Allah) who is merciful and compassionate, with Muhammad as the final prophet.
Monotheism often encompasses various theological concepts about the nature of God, the relationship between God and humanity, and the moral principles that followers are expected to uphold.
