religions of Judaism and Zoroastrianism. Judaism has often been credited as the first monotheistic religion; do you think that is accurate?
What do you think
My answer below-
Judaism and Zoroastrianism both "pioneered the development of authoritative written scriptures that advance religious teachings". Both religions belief in a single god but were used differently. Judaism belief in one god name Yahweh and Zoroastrianism belied in one god name Ahura-Mazda. Zoroastrianism was the driving spiritual force behind the Persian Empire. Judaism was "forged to resist Imperialism of the Neo-Assyrians and Chaldeans".Judaism was not tied to any particular political system or territory which influence many future civilizations. I think it is accurate to say that Judaism was the first monotheistic religion even though early Hebrews worshiped many gods before turning monotheism. The literacy of Levites helped promote the worship of Yahweh as well as David's Dynasty. With the use of written we can trace back to Judaism first beginnings.

No educated person credits Judaism or Zoroastrianism to be the first monotheistic religion. The first monotheistic religion was created by Pharoah Akhenaten/Amenhotep IV.
