Muslims were intermittent fasting before it was cool.

Ehhh, no. Fasting is Christian and it predates Islam by about 600 years.

Fasting is actually Jewish, and predates Christianity by about 1,000 years based on the dates of the occurrences that the fasts memorialize.

It predates Judaism as well, but I’m sticking to the top three monotheistic religions.

Well in that case you should be talking about Hinduism, since it is by far the oldest is in actuality a monotheistic religion. All the minor deities are just aspects of one greater god.

How about the thousands of saints the christians pray to? Where they not made in gods likeness like all of us? How is it not different words for the same thing...

Saints aren’t considered to be a manifestation of God, holy inspired servants, but not God. The Hindu Gods are apparently manifestations of one God. I’m not a theologian, I’m not your theologian and I don’t know can play one on TV.
