Ethical monotheism is a belief in one God who guides humanity through ethical principles. Ethical monotheists sometimes believe that all ethical standards are derived from God and are thus dependent upon the divine in this way. The god of ethical monotheism is the Abrahamic God worshiped in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Bahá'í Faith. Other gods are considered to be false or demonic, and it is believed that any other gods cannot be compared to the one true God.

Famous quotes containing the word ethical:
“Our rural village life was a purifying, uplifting influence that fortified us against the later impacts of urbanization; Church and State, because they were separated and friendly, had spiritual and ethical standards that were mutually enriching; freedom and discipline, individualism and collectivity, nature and nurture in their interaction promised an ever stronger democracy. I have no illusions that those simpler, happier days can be resurrected.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
