Ethical monotheism
Ethical monotheism is a form of exclusive monotheism in which God is the source for one standard of morality, who guides humanity through ethical principles.[1]
Definition
Ethical monotheism originated within Judaism.[1][2][3] It is evident in many different religions, such as Zoroastrianism, the Baháʼí Faith, Christianity, Sikhism, Islam, and many more. All of these religions include the belief in one sole higher power, who controls everything that occurs in the world.[4] In Christianity, God is worshiped as the Trinity or according to Non-trinitarian conceptions of God.
Other gods are variously considered to be false or demonic, and it is believed that any other gods cannot be compared to the one true God.
