Dit is [[Monoteïsme|monoteïstiese]] gelowe: Hulle aanbid net een [[God]], die unieke God. Die term kom van die patriarg [[Abraham]], ’n belangrike figuur in die [[Ou Testament]] wat deur Christene, Moslems en ander erken word.<ref>{{cite web |year=2010 |title=Philosophy of Religion |url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/497132/philosophy-of-religion |work=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]] |accessdate=24 Junie 2010 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100721151923/http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/497132/philosophy-of-religion |archivedate=21 Julie 2010 |deadurl=nourl-status-live}}</ref>
