I have a good idea about why they are big now, but before Constantine, why there?

Please theorize why one area dominates in monotheism, why the dominant political area is polygamous. And Jesus came only for the Jews? Huh? I'm not asking about numbers people, what births and encourages monotheism? Why is it rarer as you move east?

Gosh i really didn't think that MONO-theism was overpowering in the mid east. Oh i see the Muslim faith and the Buddhist and the sheik and the followers of flowers and the flagellants and then there is the folks who just want their crop to be good. Oh yes lets not forget the Jewish and the Christian side either. all in all the only thing MONO i see in the mid east is their inability to understand that any just G*D would not want his followers to murder the rest to show how merciful he was..The sorrowful paradox and dilemma that they live in is that when their brother is killed they MUST seek revenge for this terrestrial life ..Not ever taking a telestial look at the real word that is being sent. The word is STOP ...STOP now ...everyone STOP...its just to easy...i guess ..to put up the hate of thousands of years and say I have Stopped for all time..Some extremist ,some idiot will surely bring it to bear on the other ....
This little story i just told you is sort of a paraphrased writing i got from Reading the word of Constantine the first Christian Cesar..In Constantinople his new Rome had all the same problem we have right now...One should look to the past for insight to the future....From the E....

Because between the 10th and the 6th centuries BC, a man called Zoroaster made a pilgrimage to Baku and said that there's only one God.
That's way before the Jews who were inspired by the Egyptians worshiping Aton who in turn were inspired by the Ancient Persians, were monotheistic.

Because that was the most highly populated area of the world at the time. Rome was there before Constantine.

Such as Sikhism and forms of Hinduism?
