I'm confused.
How could Abraham have taken monotheism from the Sumerians when the Sumerians weren't monotheistic and were destroyed during 2000-1500 in which Abraham was alive?

I didn't say he took Monotheism from them. I'm saying he was a Sumerian and could not escape his own culture, affecting Judaism at its inception.

He couldn't have existed from 2000-1500 if the Jewish calendar has existed for over 5000 thousand years.

That's what my encyclopedia had. It said he lived between 2000-1500 acording to the Bible. I think I'll trust my encyclopedia.

Also you completely ignore that Egypt had profound influence on Judaim being the worship of Aton was the first true monotheistic religion.

It can't be monotheistic if it wasn't the only god, can it? Besides, not all Egyptians bought into it, especially at the lower echelons of society. I doubt it had that much impact as a whole.

Read up on it. It had profound impact, but you won't know unles you read something about it. Google Worship of Aton or something.

Is an atheist someone who does not believe in a higher power then themselves?

If so does that make God an atheist?

The Judeo-Christian God doesn't have a personality or belief system of his own.
