I think there is a far deeper dynamic at work, of which this current situation is a manifestation.
For one thing, the logical fallacy of monotheism is that ideals are not absolutes.
If you go back to the Ancients, what gods represented were what we would call ideals, metaphors, memes today. Those conceptual focal points representing various diverse phenomena. Much as Rodin's The Thinker, would be an idealization of cognition. All the Greek Gods were similar. A good book on the subject is Gilbert Murray's, The Five Stages of Greek Religion;

In which the initial observation is that having originated out of fertility rites, where the young god was born in the spring, to the old sky god and earth mother, the genesis of the Classic Olympian Pantheon was that Zeus didn't give way to Dionysus, because tradition prevailed over renewal. Much as the old are loathe to give way to the young.
Setting the stage for why the story of Jesus had so much resonance across the area, serving as a return to that organic basis. Thus the origins of the Trinity.
Though by the time Rome adopted it as state religion, Constantine had finally pulled the Roman Empire together, three hundred years after the fall of the Republic. So it was the emphasis on the monotheism that mattered, as Ancient Israel was a monarchy, while democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures.
Providing the eschatological basis for the next 1500 years of European monarchy.
The deeper, essentially physical problem is this focus of power and authority creates a feedback loop, that without effective circuit breakers, spirals into that vortex in the middle, as Israel is currently doing, with the rest of the West following along.
