    You’re acting as if there’s actually solid evidence for this theory. There really isn’t. We know polytheism existed, that doesn’t mean it was necessarily the origin. Heck, there are even hindus today that claim to worship Jesus. Does that mean that Jesus originated in Hinduism? No.

      That isn’t even remotely analogous to this situation.

      One easy way to know it’s the origin is to recognize that every religion is an evolution of other religions on the area. The others are polytheistic. It would only be reasonable to assume Judaism originated from the same practice, and we can observe similarities between Judaism and local religions of the time and find they share some aspects, implying they have the same origin. That origin being polytheistic.
