Yes, there are lines that can be drawn between abrahamic religions and ancient Mesopotamian religions. I think there’s a fundamental difference between basing a religion on pre-existing mythos and coopting religions
Yeah, but Satan (as an entity, not just a concept) is both.
And we aren’t even sure when did Canaanite/Abrahamic religions become monotheistic, and I would classify at least that as a religion change (not the rituals/practical usage, but the core philosophy).
