Monotheistic religions act like polytheistic religions of the ancient world

What if monotheistic religions don't see other religions as heretic, and instead saw each other as aspects of their own respective Gods, like the ancient cultures viewed other cultures' religions?
Would we see different religions forming something akin to Creole religions?
 
Something like Henotheism?
mmm, I suppose. Maybe Omnism? Essentially, like the Ancient World, where Greeks would merge their religion with the Egyptians, seeing Egyptian gods as aspects of their own (like Hermes and Anubis, or Dionysus and Osiris) to form a Graeco-Egyptian religion
 
The problem is creating such a thing.

Jews vs Christians is because both have different ideas of the Messiah and what he does.

Jews vs Muslims is because the Jews refuse to recognize Muhammed as a prophet

Christians vs Muslims is because Muslims have a different conception of God (Unitarian vs Trinitarian, Jesus as Prophet vs Jesus as Messiah)


I think the easiest way to make Christianity converge towards Islam and Judaism is an Arianist victory. I would't call the result "Christian", through.
Even then, in Arianism, Jesus is still a higher being, not just a man, and the Jewish idea of the Messiah is still different of the Arianist one.

Then there's Zoroastrism, which is very similar to Abrahamic religions in some ways.
 
A world like that would be ripe for early secularization, because having the same god seen and worshiped differently by three separate religions and everyone being fine with it means an early acknowledgement of the fallibility of the clergy, leading everyone to take religious dogmas with a grain of salt.
