It's the idea that all religion began as monostheistic and then they became polytheistic. Some Examples of monotheistic dieties from around the world (except YHWH):
Magano (Ethiopia)
Thakur Jiu (india)
Shang Ti (China)
Hananim (Korea)
Viracocha (Peru)

No, I hadn't.
Seriously people, what did that do to merit him a thumbs down?

Yes; well, of course, we all began with Adam.
He knew the truth.
He lived 930 years and he had it all.
God then re-started with Noah.
Noah lived 100s of years, and he had the full truth.
From there, big-headedness began again, and individuals wanted to become their own gods and set up their own religions and beliefs about life.
So now it's every man/woman for himself.
All totally selfish.
But all such shall die a selfish death.

The Bible supports this idea, but the fall of man soon devised otherwise.

To me that seems like more evidence that there really is just one God, and people use to know it...
