In his wake rose great civilizations who yet still practiced animism, totem faith, and despite their pyramids the ancient egyptains were not terribly dissimilar to native americans in their cultural and scientific sophistication, they too lived by the rains. Abraham, and his blood, walked with god, with great fear of god, and gradually learned what faith was. It took a very, very, very long time for this to develop. But god had plans, plans for the world, for the whole world. Yet god also know that man was imperfect. God chose opportunities despite that imperfection- he choose a people who would become arrogant and insular, who were basically a bunch of desert rats. He chose them to be ideal for criteria that would in his omniscent view permit other events not by their choice or through their wisdom millennia later, and he declared his plans repeatedly. In these things and my wisdom I declare, god's will is perfect and his knowledge is absolute.
I am not here to defend the jews to you, only to question your motivations. To you, all religion is false, and the notion of god in general is a joke.
