gollark: I vaguely remember that the Bible (Old Testament, anyway) references a few other gods, and says to not worship them, not that they don't exist. So maybe not actually monotheistic. But *de facto* monotheistic anyway.

gollark: There are modern translations.
gollark: Visually.
gollark: This is actually rather cool.
