I don't doubt it because Jews are known for borrowing from other faiths concepts.

Some believe that on his way to Ur of the Chaldeans ( Holy Kauls) who had roots in India as well, he either taught or was Zarathustra/Zoroaster the Persian prophet. This was one influential man!!!
My hope is that I am not the only one aware of this, and that we can discuss this from a non dogmatic approach.

Thoughts?

People in the ancient times supposedly called Jesus Ammon, hense the saying at the end of our prayers, Amen. Ammon was the god who looked after the poor and needy, that is why they labeled Jesus with that name.

That is quite a claim based on the same amount of evidence both ways.
Youre as wrong or right as I am as a believer

It's false religious rhetoric.It is a concept extrapolated from the scriptures to fit a religious agenda nothing more.Abraham did not have a religion nor did he start one.He had ZERO to do with Judaism or any other religion.Judaism,Christianity and Islam would not come into existence for hundred to thousands of years after Abraham.
Yahoshua made it very clear to the Jews (John 8) Abraham "may" have been their genetic patriarch but had ZERO to do with their religion of Judaism.This is all very easily discovered by just reading the scriptures no divine inspiration needed yet the religious (and their detractors) insist Abraham is the father of at least 3 religions when nothing could be further from the facts.Theory's like this are abysmal and meaningless tripe.Abraham was not a religious nutjob not was he the father of any of the nutjob religions.

And don't forget circumcision.
Im referring to your claim above that Abraham didnt start any religion.
Genesis 14
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the MOST HIGH GOD.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
