This thread is so old. I have actually thought the same thing as the OP, though. People's default spiritual setting is animism. I've always wondered if anti-semitism partly arises from monotheism interfering with this. The Nazis blamed the Jews for Christianity amongst other things (when they weren't courting the Catholic church that is).
It's not the sole cause of antisemitism but I do wonder if it does have some subconscious effect.
