In my opinion, monotheism arose with the rise of the first city-states followed by the rise of empires. Having one god instead of many went hand-in-hand with having one ruler. For instance, the Roman tetrarchy, instituted by the emperor Diocletian, failed immediately after his reign, and Constantine, when he ascended the throne, saw the utility of Christian monotheism over Roman paganism, as being a unifying force for the Empire, which was also his motive in opposing Arianism.
