Ive read a little about the shift from polytheism to monoaltry to monotheism among semites and also with the Egyptian cult of Aten.
Assuming some priests like money and power, wasn’t this a way to monopolize religion, similar to how communist bureacrats try to control the entire economy or how capitalist oligarchs implement corporate monopolies? What about banning idols? Was there an economic advantage in some priests doing this?
Yes this has implications for christianity. Im interested in a discussion, not bashing.

You need to refine that a bit before it goes on the t-shirts.
