But I don't think it was so for the early Israelite's. They seemed to blend in well. They were henotheists, not warriors, polytheists.
Then Yahweh took over in their minds, and just like the first monotheistic religion -- Atenism, Egypt 1400BCE -- Yahweh wasn't tolerant.
And how do you relate?

I like the word henotheists, I think it makes the most sense in how the world is organized, the gods are organized like that too.
