Assmann argues for a "mosaic distinction," a true/false dichotomy in religion first introduced by the pharaoh Akenahten but later made famous by the Abrahamic religions (which by their own memory come from Egypt in opposition to Egypt), which in short denies the beliefs of other people. In his view the pagan or polytheistic religions did not usually make these claims and were comfortable translating the names of each others' gods among other things. This distinction thus has enormous consequences for the development and history of religions and of societies in which it is introduced. (And because of this, it is rather poetic to see tradposters identity-drift from Abrahamism to Abrahamism in search of which is the most based, i.e. the most hostile to the other religions). The major works are Moses the Egyptian, and The Price of Monotheism.
