Ethical monotheism is a belief in one God who guides humanity through ethical principles. Ethical monotheists sometimes believe that all ethical standards are derived from God and are thus dependent upon the divine in this way. The god of ethical monotheism is the Abrahamic God worshiped in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Bahá'í Faith. Other gods are considered to be false or demonic, and it is believed that any other gods cannot be compared to the one true God.

Famous quotes containing the word ethical:
“There are two kinds of liberalism. A liberalism which is always, subterraneously authoritative and paternalistic, on the side of one’s good conscience. And then there is a liberalism which is more ethical than political; one would have to find another name for this. Something like a profound suspension of judgment.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
