Why do monotheistic relogions stress that there can only be one god?

Well according to the logic and reasoning based on older greek philosophy, there can only be one transcendental first cause of all things.

Early Christians that the other "gods" of the pantheons existed, but weren't worthy of worship or were powerful demons. Nowadays people like to refuse the idea of any other god because I guess they dont want to give the heathens an inch?

Otherwise they would be monolatric retard

Because they're brainlets that don't want to devote their limited thinking power into remembering more than one deity.

The oldest empires in the world were religious empires,centring upon the worship of a god or of a god-king.
Alexander was treated as a divinity and the Caesars were gods in so much as they had altars and temples devoted to them and the offering of incense was made a test of loyalty to the Roman state. But these
older religions were essentially religions of act and fact. They did not invade the mind.

But the new sort of religions that had come into the world, and particularly Christianity, turned inward. These new religions were creed religions,they demanded not simply conformity but understanding belief. Naturally fierce controversy ensued upon the exact meaning of the things believed.

Monotheisim is actually more scholarly demanding and intelligent in construction. Monotheism has also given birth to many greater scholars than any 'pluralistic' pantheon has given.
