This is the best way of understanding religion. If you understand comic books, you understand the history of religion exactly as well.
Edit: Except for the geographic component it us exactly the same. Like, in egyptiqn myth each god kind of takes their turn being the juiced-up heel. In greek myth ares is kind of usually a dick but sometimes hes a dick to the other guy but when he shows up in a wonder woman thing hes always gonna be fuckin shit up. Loki is usually a lovable ‘what the fuck did you do!?’ playful accidental antagonist or transgressive guile hero and pretty genderfluid but when going after the hulk or dr. Strange always uses he/him pronouns for some reason.
Edit: also i think at least one batman villain has crossed over with pro wrestling and that means the POTUS in our story has been punched by someone whos shaken a hand that has punched multuple members of the justice league.
The problem is the theology doesn’t match, there is no common god of Christians, Jews, and Muslims because Christians believe Jesus is god and divine and neither of the others do meaning their god’s identity is different. Christians and Jews believe the Quran contains lies, Muslims and Jews believe the Christian bible contains lies, and Christians and Muslims believe the Jewish bible contains lies. Hell even within each there are sects that believe different things about god, like Christians who believe they are saved by being chosen, by faith alone, or by faith and works. These are unreconcilable differences that change based on their beliefs about their god.
Religions when formed usually branch from an existing religion (e.g. Christianity started as a Jewish apocalyptic cult, Mormon branches from that, etc), but change the theology enough so that the old clergy/church is no longer valid wrt the new faith position.
Isn’t it the same god in the first two as well?
They are the same in a sense the Amazing Spider-Man and the Spectacular Spider-Man are the same.

Jah
Allah is “the god” in Arabic and applies to the Abrahamic religions. Similar to Algebra but also has a contraction with the Al/“the” part.
