RE: One God existed for a short period of time in 14-century Egypt but was quickly overturned because power became too narrowly engrossed.
The Americas, already had hundreds of indigenous nations that had occupied the continent for tens of thousands of years before the Europeans landed. They had large cities and the people were highly skilled in astronomy, geography and math.
Rationalized through a single god chosen by a single people, Manifest Destiny evolved, leading to the largest holocausts known to mankind. This self-empowered doctrine gave Europeans their right to discover and conquer land in the name of their Old Testament God. The rational was used to “civilize the new world” and wipe out whole cultures along with 70 to 100 million people.
Before Europeans, Native Americans found an advanced spiritual balance with Nature, Earth and Sky using many practitioners, similar to the ancient east. It seems inconceivable that one written document and its God could be used to lay so much to waste.
