屬於{{Translink|En|Christian fundamentalism|4=基要派}}的[[新教|更正教]][[浸信會]]會徒史蒂芬·范·納坦（Stephen Van Nattan）[[传教士#基督教传道组织|傳教士]]在其作品中聲稱，[[s:佛學大辭典/梵覽摩|梵覽摩]]神（the god Brahman）是古時[[吠陀宗教#古代印度教與吠陀印度教|吠陀異教]]教義中的不可見的至尊[[多神論#多神論中的神|衆神]]中的一位，而祂實際上就是由在古時受到[[叙利亚|敘利亞]][[異教]]所崇拜的神祇{{Translink|En|Rahmanan#Ancient Syria and Mesopotamia|4=拉赫曼}}（Rahman）所變成的，與摒棄了普遍的[[偶像崇拜]]的吠陀異教不同，在後來出現的印度異教教內，[[神#多神教|諸神]]毫無地位可言，祂們不過是被臆想出來的[[假神]]， 史蒂芬也聲稱，[[奥义书|奧義書]]將'Rahman'改成'Brahman'，部份關於梵覽摩神的觀念實際上是[[巴比倫宗教|巴比倫異教]]的產物<ref>{{Cite book |title=Allah, Divine or Demonic? The journey of a pagan god from Babylon to Mecca |last=Nattan |first=Stephen Van |chapter=Part Five: Helping Muslims Find Salvation In Jesus Christ |chapter-url=http://www.hajiallah.com/page22.htm |quote=The Vedas of 1800 - 1000 BC came to the conclusion that animistic paganism was disgusting, and so they developed a discipline of meditation on the unseen supreme deities. Their god list was very short and included Rahman from Syria and Babylon, who became Brahman. They missed Jehovah altogether, but they did pitch out general idol worship.  ...  The next group to come after them were the Upanishads, and they modified the Vedas' system and transported it to India in 1000 - 800 BC. Their various thinkers, over the ages, slowly abandoned the mystical and replaced it with a more tangible god system that centered on grotesque many armed images and universal spirituality. This has resulted today in virtually every Hindu having the option of inventing his own god, and, if he abandons the world and makes a disgusting filthy mess of himself, he can deceive the Indian masses into actually worshiping him, and the gods be damned.  …  The name Rahman came from Syria to Persia where the Upanishads altered it to Brahman.  …  The filthy sexual connection is clear, in that LILA is associated with the god Brahman's pleasure. I tell you this last bit to be sure you understand that Isa came along with a whole body of sexually explicit Sumerian and Babylonian theology right into modern Hinduism.}}</ref>。

史蒂芬聲稱，[[亞述家園|亞述]]異教所崇拜的地位很高的[[神#多神教|神祇]]{{Translink|En|Rimmon#Syrian deity|4=里吾蒙}}（Rimmon）在經過[[波斯]]來到印度之後，變成了奧義書中的'Brahman'，其受到維丹塔派（Vidanta）及現時流行於[[西方世界|西方]]的[[新纪元运动|新紀元運動]]參與者所重視<ref>{{Cite web |title=RAHMAN |url=http://www.hajiallah.com/rahman.htm |website=Hajiallah.com |last=Nattan |first=Stephen Van |dead-url=no |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241008210600/http://www.hajiallah.com/rahman.htm |archive-date=2024-10-08 |access-date=2024-10-08}}</ref>，[[主神#特征|主神]][[那罗延#佛教神話|毘瑟笯]]被認為向世人揭示了梵覽摩（the Brahman）作為[[上帝#其他宗教教義中的至上神|高神]]（high god）的身份<ref>{{Cite web |title=VISHNU |url=http://www.hajiallah.com/vishnu.htm |website=Hajiallah.com |last=Nattan |first=Stephen Van |dead-url=no |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241008210534/http://www.hajiallah.com/vishnu.htm |archive-date=2024-10-08 |access-date=2024-10-08}}</ref>，在[[印度宗教#印度教|印度異教]]教義中，梵覽摩心（the Brahman mind）是[[轮回#印度教|輪迴]]的終極目的地<ref>{{Cite web |title=Appendix Ten: What do Islam and Mainline Christianity Have in Common? |url=http://www.hajiallah.com/append-10.htm |website=Hajiallah.com |last=Nattan |first=Stephen Van |access-date=2026-01-13 |quote=No Hindu knows where he is in the 12,000 reincarnations, so he can live like the devil, yet he only has to assume that he may come back at a lower level than he is right now, and he will have many chances to work his way to the Brahman mind. This is the ultimate destination.}}</ref>。

根據史蒂芬所提出的説法，《[[聖經#基督教聖經|聖經]]·[[列王紀下]]》記載説[[亚述|亞述國]][[將軍]][[乃缦|乃縵]]在歸信{{Translink|En|God in Judaism|4=上主}}前曾經崇拜里吾蒙神， 史蒂芬聲稱，里吾蒙是由拉吾曼（Ramman）所變成的，而里吾蒙在波斯及印度變成了梵覽摩並留在了維丹塔派的神學思想中，里吾蒙這個名字也被[[伊斯兰教|伊斯蘭教]]開創者[[穆罕默德]]改作拉赫曼一詞並被用作[[伊斯兰教的神|真主]][[安拉#伊斯兰教|阿拉]]的[[真主的九十九個尊名|名號]]之一，包括[[安拉#前阿拉伯时代|安拉神]]在內的數量不斷增長的這些從[[魔王#神話傳說的魔王|魔王]][[撒但]]而來的[[神#多神教和神化|偽神]]與在[[天國#基督教|天國]]的[[神#一神教|惟一眞神]]相對立<ref>{{Cite book |title=Allah, Divine or Demonic? The journey of a pagan god from Babylon to Mecca |last=Nattan |first=Stephen Van |chapter=Chapter Fourteen: Al Hajj Ya Allah    Route One: THE NORTHERN ROUTE OF ALLAH'S HAJJ FROM BABYLON TO MECCA |chapter-url=http://www.hajiallah.com/northrte.htm |quote=In praising the ruler in line 17, the author says he set up worship to Shamash and Rammam. This is the god Rimmon mentioned in the Bible, II King 5:18: Naaman, the Assyrian General, says, "In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand... I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing." Naaman had worshipped this god until he was converted to Jehovah through a healing experience in Israel. He was told by God's prophet to go in peace since his heart was right. Rammam became Rimmon of later days, then he moved in two directions. In Persia and India he became Brahman, and survives in Vedantic theology to this day. In Mecca, Mohammed used the god name Rimmon as Rahman, which is one of the names for Allah, and this is also Ramman.  …  Why Allah survived is not possible to determine except that all of Satan's deities multiply and multiply to give the pagans the idea that there could not possibly be One God in heaven. It is supremely ironic that Mohammed salvaged Allah from the Kaaba to champion his monotheism, yet Allah is the product of much multiplication of pagan deities.}}</ref>。
