It nice to see that the religion that change the world is still alive. I know it's Father's Day, but we should give some credit to the religion that gave birth to modern Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

The OT books of Kings and Chronicles make it fairly clear that whatever the Jews believed on paper, so to speak, they tended, over a long period of time to practice polytheism, particularly worshiping various Ashtoreths, Ba'als and erecting shrines on hilltops to local deities. Did they acquire monotheism in Egypt? It's hard to say that they were ever there, archeologically. By comparison, a historical Babylonian captivity of some proportion is nearly a dead lock, and most textual evidence suggest that the TNK was largely written/compiled/redacted after that event. In all likelihood, the Babylonians captured polytheists and released monotheists.

There are modifications of Zoroastrianism among the New Age movement although most likely akin to Madonna's toying with Kabbalah.

I never got into it myself, but I do remember reading references to it in some of the weird shit I read then.
