Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Both Judaism and Christianity are considered to be what type of religions?
A
polytheistic
B
agnostic
C
atheistic
D
monotheistic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The three religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam readily fit the definition of monotheism, which is to worship one god while denying the existence of other gods. But, the relationship of the three religions is closer than that: They claim to worship the same god.

Detailed explanation-2: -When people refer to the Abrahamic religions they are usually thinking of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. There are, in fact, more Abrahamic religions, such as the Baha’i Faith, Yezidi, Druze, Samaritan and Rastafari, but this article will focus on the main three aforementioned.

Detailed explanation-3: -’Polytheism’ is most commonly defined simply and without qualification as ‘belief in more than one god’, and a god is most commonly understood to be any being that is fully divine. Thus, on the most common way of understanding polytheism, orthodox Christian belief is not monotheistic, but quite clearly polytheistic.
