Abrahamic scriptureās defining trait is a God who observes all acts without exception.
Evidence
The God of Abraham is endowed with extraordinary powers of observation. Everywhere in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Koran, it is asserted that God sees everything, even and especially when no one is watching. A hallmark of devotion in these religious traditions is the belief that God is watching 24/7, and therefore no act, no matter how small or clandestine, can be hidden from Him. ā Norenzayan, Ara, Big gods - how religion transformedā¦, 97
