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.
