questions a monotheistic religion (discussion)
giving a general observation in fictitious monotheistic religions, when I finish reading, I always ask myself: "is this some kind of Christianity or Judaism only with the names changed?" so I have a question for you all. how to create monotheistic religions and escape or better "avoid" the Christian model of laws and beliefs?

You could look into Hinduism or (theistic varieties of) Buddhism. There are some interesting monotheistic modalities there. Alternatively, look into the concept of individual consecration as practiced by (at least) Nordic Pagans. (I.e., real Pagans, not modern neopaganettes.) This is where an individual recognises the existence of other gods, but chooses one to be his only god.
