heaven and hell , judgement day , the concept of evil /satan , the concept of messiah or prophet . Early Judaism was polytheists and it became monotheistic later on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z30Z5cOR5BA&t=851s
would that be early judaism tho? or the native canaanite religion.
the way i understand it, some failsons in the capital got super into monotheism somehow, and spent a lot of time trying to get their proto-jewish peasants to stop worshipping the many old gods. and that was the start of judaism.
native canaanites were at war with the promised people and then displaced or idk , but the ancient jewish gods were multiple it seems .

iirc they are a tribe of Canaanites and eventually win out. There is a theory that they practiced Monolatry, the worship of a singular god, but without denying the existence of other deities. The Dead Sea Scrolls mention many sons of Elohim and make mention to the gods of other nations, which are defeated by El.

Jews don't necessarily believe in hell, and the closest thing they have to it is more like the sumerian or Greek afterlife than the hell modern Christians imagine. Prophets are also more common than you think, occurring in Etruscan and African cultures frequently. Satan is not big in judaism, far more a Christian thing. There are some similarities and it's probably ideas were exchanged between the two faiths towards their founding, but you can't say they just share ideology
A majority of Christian sects also reject a firm notion of Hell. Most view purgatory and salvation as the path that the soul takes.
Hell is simply where Satan resides, not some infinite torture chamber. Satan also has no control over Hell as Jesus willingly goes there and after a time, yoinks all the souls there up to Heaven without a problem during the ascension.
It kind of goes against the entire notion of indiscriminate forgiveness and salvation if you just got cast into hell and got stuck there.
The truth is that hell was never a domain of Satan nor was it a torture chamber. Hell is actually a prison to destroy the souls of unbelievers through fire. Also, Yahweh had shown mercy when he offer people a chance to repent after the crucification of Jesus.
The first rule of the ten commandments of the Bible did implied the polytheism with the claim that Yahweh is a jealous God and that no one should worship other gods.

So these Abrahamic people were a tribe or a displaced people from somewhere and defeated the native Canaanites.
A tribe in the region. Though Yahweh is not from the Levant or Egypt, seems he arrives in Egypt from farther east

I don't think a majority is right, but it's definitely true there's more than one strain of thought.
