Prof. dr. Herbert Niehr: "Between the 10th century and the beginning of their exile in 586 there was polytheism as normal religion all throughout Israel; only afterwards things begin to change and very slowly they begin to change. I would say it is only correct for the last centuries, maybe only from the period of the Maccabees, that means the second century BC, so in the time of Jesus of Nazareth it is true, but for the time before it, it is not true."

Its official religion was at most henotheistic Yahwism, and it certainly wasn't so for most of the history of the Kingdom of Judah. Henotheism means "there are many gods, but we only worship one of them". Tgeorgescu (talk) 16:43, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Tgeorgescu I added a bit about official religion. Please check, and feel free to add more. --Jarekt (talk) 12:00, 19 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
