Is this a common thread among most of the major religions?

Rather interesting thought actually--in the hunter gatherer cultures like the american indian or the australian aborigine (others as well)---these are variations of mother earth-great spirit type beliefs. These deitys are rather kindly non intrusive. Islam and Christianity however both contain within them "my way or the hiway" dogma. Strikes me that the genesis of these mono/poly theistic religious dogma has come from when man went from a hunter gatherer to an urbanized environment. In an ubarnized environment--the kindly unobtrusive great spirit type of religous belief--wouldn't last particularly long--you'd have the village or city shaman with power but no real consolidation of power. With urbanization came the need for religon that was essentially tied to the land--that is temples, churches etc. In order to mantain those buildings and mantain the land you need your adherents to donate to the religion.; This serves to consolidate power and wealth in the hands of a few. Now--if some other religion popped up that was somehow--neater--you'd run the risk of losing adherents--and income to mantain the building/grounds etc. Thus, vested self interest would dictate that those in power establish a dogma where--mine is the real true story--and if you don't follow it you burn type dogma--to keep people from migrating to other religous ideas. Can it be that the common thread which unites most of the major religions in terms of their dogma has it's roots in humanity moving from hunter/gatherer cultures to urbanized cultures?
