As opposed to the true [[God]], other '''gods''' have been proposed throughout the history of mankind. The term god is applied in a geral sense to any deity that is worshiped as part of a theistic belief system.
==Attributes of other gods==
Islam and Judaism, do not consider Christ divine, although he is an important prophet in Islam. In Islam, an arguably similar role is played by Muhammad, although Islam does still not consider Muhammad divine.
==Notes==
It is claimed that [[Christianity]], [[Islam]], and [[Judaism]] worship the same God in different ways. This claim is regarded by some as a way to convert Jews and Christians to Islam, since it supports the idea that [[Abrahamic religions|Abrahamic religion]] has "grown" from Judaism to Christianity to Islam.<ref>http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/moongod.htm</ref> However, many are skeptical of this idea.<ref>http://www.letusreason.org/Islam6.htm</ref>
Regardless of the lack of historical data regarding the origins of any of these three religions, the mythological links between them are clear. It is a tenet of the Jewish religion that all Jews descended from Abraham (indeed, in order to convert to Judaism one must complete an 'adoption' ritual for the house of Israel); as Jesus is regarded as Jewish, the growth of Christianity as an offshoot of the Jewish religion is clear. In a similar fashion, Muslims claim to be descended from Abraham by way of Ishmael.
