Monotheism

===Oceania===
====Aboriginal Australian religion====
Aboriginal Australians are typically described as [[polytheistic]] in nature.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aboriginalculture.com.au/religion.html|title=Aboriginal Culture|access-date=2021-03-26|archive-date=2021-03-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210306020837/https://www.aboriginalculture.com.au/religion.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Although some researchers shy from referring to [[List of Australian Aboriginal mythological figures|Dreamtime figures]] as "gods" or "deities", they are broadly described as such for the sake of simplicity.<ref>Jennifer Isaacs (2005).

In Southeastern Australian cultures, the sky father [[Baiame]] is perceived as the creator of the universe (though this role is sometimes taken by other gods like [[Yhi]] or [[Bunjil]]) and at least among the [[Gamilaraay]] traditionally revered above other mythical figures.<ref>{{cite journal | last1=Greenway | first1=Charles C. | last2=Honery | first2=Thomas | last3=McDonald | first3=Mr. | last4=Rowley | first4=John | last5=Malone | first5=John | last6=Creed | first6=Dr. | title=Australian Languages and Traditions | journal=The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland | publisher=JSTOR | volume=7 | year=1878 | pages=232–274 | issn=0959-5295 | doi=10.2307/2841001 | jstor=2841001 | url=https://zenodo.org/record/1574076 | access-date=2023-03-12 | archive-date=2023-04-07 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230407024453/https://zenodo.org/record/1574076 | url-status=live }}</ref> Equation between him and the Christian god is common among both missionaries and modern Christian Aboriginals.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/spirituality/aboriginal-christians-christianity|title = Aboriginal Christians & Christianity|date = 14 August 2020|access-date = 26 March 2021|archive-date = 14 August 2021|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210814144738/https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/spirituality/aboriginal-christians-christianity|url-status = live}}</ref>

The [[Yolngu]] [[Makassan contact with Australia|had extensive contact with the Makassans]] and adopted religious practises inspired by those of Islam. The god Walitha'walitha is based on Allah (specifically, with the ''wa-Ta'ala'' suffix), but while this deity had a role in funerary practises it is unclear if it was "Allah-like" in terms of functions.<ref>Rogers, Janak (24 June 2014).

====Andaman Islands====
The religion of the [[Andamanese peoples]] has at times been described as "animistic monotheism", believing foremost in a single deity, [[Pūluga]], who created the universe.<ref>Radcliffe-Brown, A. R. (14 November 2013). The Andaman Islanders. Cambridge University Press. p. 161. ISBN 978-1-107-62556-3.</ref> However, Pūluga is not worshipped, and anthropomorphic personifications of natural phenomena are also known.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.webindia123.com/territories/andaman/people/intro.htm|title=PEOPLE of Andaman and Nicobar Islands|access-date=2021-03-28|archive-date=2021-06-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210622142857/https://www.webindia123.com/territories/andaman/people/intro.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
