>Does this mean that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are worshipping a god that has its roots in typical Canaanite polytheism?
The oldest that we have for the Israelites and their god, potentially, is an Egyptian carving discussing the 'Shasu of YHW', with Shasu probably translating to 'wanderer/raider/nomad'.
This doesn't tell us anything about their culture or their religion, but it does make it known that these guys probably led to the Israelites later, and they were at that time just another Iron Age raiding nomad group on the Egyptian frontier.
YHWH and Baal, not El, are the closest gods in the earliest stages. So close that they're probably derived from the same protosemitic deity. El on the other hand was more of an overlord deity that didn't really get involved in day-to-day stuff and who was generally older and more geriatric rather than a warrior in his prime like YHWH and Baal probably were thought of. In contrast, YHWH and Baal both were closely involved henotheistic gods.

This is the best book to read on the topic, state of the art.
