    Because it is pretty much the only game in town when it comes to monotheism? Jews, christians and muslims believe in the same god after all. The hindus have a whole pantheon and the buddhists don't have a god at all (except for the tibetan brand of buddhism which also has a plethora of gods, goddesses and demons).

      Do they really? Or is this just more cultural imperialism talking? Who said we had to restrict ourselves to monotheism in the first place?
