One thing that all three religions have in common is that in their beginnings, they were obliged to assert themselves against heathen surroundings.

In the course of time, they transferred the concept of heathenism to their neighboring monotheistic religions so as to distinguish their own respective truth from the “ falsity ” of the others.

Allen drei Religionen ist gemeinsam, dass sie sich in ihren Anfängen gegen ein heidnisches Umfeld behaupten mussten.

Im Laufe der Zeit übertrugen sie den Begriff des Heidentums auch auf ihre monotheistischen Nachbarreligionen, um ihre jeweilige Wahrheit gegen die „ Unwahrheit “ der anderen abzugrenzen.
