Well if you believe in Jesus and read Bible you should know there is only One Real God and one False god, who is named as Devil or Satan who pretend to be other god, whatever you will call em.
Muslims based on Koran, that come from Bible.
So we have billions supporter of one religion: Jews, Christians and Muslims against not really big number of other religions.

The problem with polytheism is very clear, what god from the pantheon would the people worship ?
In Ancient Greece for example, Zeus wasn't the top worshipped for most of the time overall. It was taken by Athena and Apollo. Despite Zeus being the "king of the gods" in Ancient Greece.
Not to mention other cities took on patron deities they revered more than others, so polytheism can divide rather than unite.
Monotheism on the other hand, is much more inclusive by havingn a single god to worship. Especially when its a universal religion like Christianity and Islam. Different sects still emerge, but its nowhere near as divisive as polytheism. Having more grounded scripture is also a good point in favor of monotheism.
Thats the main reason why monotheism exists today while paganism-in general- is nearly extinct. And since followers of Abrahamic religions exist, AND they believe their scripture to be holy and correct. Its more than enough reason to believe that paganism is false in their eyes.

Well, you can believe whatever you want. Some people can build a statue of unnamed god and serve to him. Chrristianity deliver answers to the question about God. Again if some absolute force like God was real, then he will be the one who will give his religion to humanity and keep it's popular enough.
Now speaking about Jews-Christian religion. Difference between this religion and others is fact that this religion is based on Pact between God and humanity and explane why humans need God, while others - don't

Because monotheism is in line with human nature while polytheism/mythology/whatever else isn’t. Both the studies and personal/anecdotal evidences are pretty clear.
Amongst the pile of responses with ignorance (albeit expected around here tbf), good to see someone else that knows what they are talking about, shout-out to Konstantis as well.

Because in Bible , the other gods are view idols as statue and literally show people worship status as gods .
‘They are called false gods , the Bible god as Yahweh , “I AM “ - actually god name is only true god in Bible.
‘Seriously, go to ChristIan website or other forum to debate religion rather than this forum.

If that was the case why isn’t Tengrism dominating the world? Or Greco-Roman folklore? Conquest played a role (perhaps far more for Christianity in particular and even far more for Post Colonial Liberalism/Secularism) however that is not the sole ingredient in the mass conversion and long lasting standing of the Abrahamic religions on the world stage.
