Why did Akhenaten worship only one god?
Egypt’s monotheist pharaoh was no isolated anomaly. The Urantia Book records that Ikhnaton acted on the counsel of a Salemite physician, an heir of the Melchizedek teaching, and wisely presented the worship of the Universal Father under the guise of the sun god so Egypt could receive it.
In the book's own words
Very wisely Ikhnaton sought to establish monotheism under the guise of the sun-god. This decision to approach the worship of the Universal Father by absorbing all gods into the worship of the sun was due to the counsel of the Salemite physician. Ikhnaton took the generalized doctrines of the then existent Aton faith regarding the fatherhood and motherhood of Deity and created a religion which recognized an intimate worshipful relation between man and God.
