I think you are right in terms of Zoroastrianism being the first monotheistic religion in the narrow sense (the common ancestor) but the philosophical underpinnings of Christianity and Islam are firmly Greek.
Where did the Greeks get the idealistic ideas from?
From the Egyptians, the tutors of the Greek idealist philosophers.
Who taught the Israelites to conclude their prayers with the name of the original One and Only god, Amen-Ra? The Egyptians!
Zoroaster, Plato, Moses and the authors of the Christian literature are all pupils of the Egyptian priesthood.
There are texts, there are records, Gentlemen, that prove the fact that the monotheistic god is a product of the ancient Egyptian theology.
