Lilith Monotheism ?

What if a semi-monotheist religion emerges around Lilith or Anat goddess with a complex theology and becomes influential in the Middle-East ?

This is a pretty broad question. Why do you think that a monotheistic religion venerating a war goddess would be all that different from one venerating a sky god, considering that the early Hebrews were also pretty conquer-y (or at least, tried a lot).

It's worth noting that Lilith seems to always have been some sort of demon, rather than a goddess, even in ancient Mesopotamia.

Because people reacting to the excesses of patriarchal Judaism (and hence the other Abrahamic religions) go overboard when they find traces of a 'Lilith' figure buried deep in Hebrew history, and figure she must be everything right that they despise about patriarchal OTL Judaism?

Yes, I indeed thought of something like that.
 
Lilith the Demon or Lilith the First Woman? Because the latter "appears to have been spread through Buxtorf's "Lexicon Talmudicum" ' [JewishEncyclopedia], published in 1608 in Germany. You can say that there might be a worship of Lilith today, tough not as a monotheist religion, but a feminist misotheism.
