Ethical monotheism is a form of exclusive monotheism in which God is believed to be the only god as well as the source for one's standards of morality, guiding humanity through ethical principles.
[1] Ethical monotheism originated—pace any claims of priority on behalf of Zoroastrianism[2]—within Judaism.
[1][3][4][5] The concept is present in various other monotheistic religions, such as Zoroastrianism, Christianity, the Baháʼí Faith, Sikhism, and Islam.
All of these monotheistic religions include the belief in one Supreme Being as the ultimate authority and creator of the universe.
[7] In monotheistic religions, other deities are variously considered to be false or demonic, and it is believed that any other gods cannot be compared to the one that they respectively regard as the only true God.
