Why do people in Egypt now believe in Allah instead of their Egyptian Gods?
In: Other
I think also in general monotheistic religions spread easier than polytheistic.
It’s easier to learn that there is one god called Allah and his prophet is Mohammad, than trying to remember all of the Greek and Egyptian pantheons, all their rituals and feast days etc etc.
There was a brief period of monotheistic worship in ancient Egypt, where Amun was worshipped as the sole god.
Christianity does the same thing. Believe in Jesus? That’s enough.
I think Hinduism is the exception, being an extremely popular polytheistic religion but it’s also because the population in India is so massive.
