From the outside, the distinctions between the monotheisms look pretty ridiculous. But inside, they take them very seriously.
The Muslim confession of faith, the Shahada, is roughly "there is no god but God, and Muhammed is his messenger", and what has always struck me about this is that, despite the religion being centered around the idea of a single unitary god, the way they distinguish themselves from other monotheisms is by naming a man.
