Sounds like a lot of rubbish. The rise of monotheism had more to do with conquest and politics, than geography. Sennacherib's defeat by dysentery outside the walls of Jerusalem, and Emperor Constantin's conversion to Christianity to save his crumbling empire. To name a few.
Hell, as we know it evolved after monotheism's rise. The early ideas about 'Hell', by different names, had nothing to do with fire. It doesn't sound like this guy knows what he is talking about.
