Respuesta :
Most religions were either polytheistic or monotheistic. The worship of multiple deities is known as polytheism. In contrast to polytheism, monotheism is characterized by the belief in a solitary deity.
Because they involve a high degree of increasing returns to scale and the corresponding inherent monopoly powers, monotheist religions generate a paradigm shift in sociopolitical institutions. Monotheists improve personal accountability by personalizing the spiritual exchange relationship between the person and the one deity and by assuming that this relationship continues into the hereafter. They affect the time discount between one's lifetime and the afterlife and broaden their believers' time horizon beyond biological life. Together, these characteristics imply that the rise of monotheism should have aided in the stabilization of society and politics. The average geographical size of social orders as well as their period of reign are positively and statistically significantly influenced by monotheism.
Up to the start of the Industrial Revolution, there is factual evidence that the birth and adoption of monotheistic religions facilitated early growth in both the West and the Near East.
