Meaning that Christianity is the newest monotheistic god religion today.
Before monotheism became popular with society, there were around sixteen cultures that believed in the same characteristics in a god figure that Christianity describes in Jesus.
Islam is both monotheistic (and in a stricter more literal sense of affirming God's oneness) and newer than the Jesus-centered religious movements that gave rise to the various Christianities we have today.
When you say that about sixteen cultures "believed in the same characteristics in a god figure that Christianity describes in Jesus," are you specifically referring to virgin births, resurrections, and the like? Do you have any links?
