Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. One of the main differences between Judaism and the religions of the time was the belief in one God, the creator of the world who spoke to them in revelations and through the prophets, indicating the importance to keep the faith and worship only Him. While other religions relied on astrology, animal , Ba'al and other gods worship.
