I think BSG established it was only 40 years from centurian type cylons to the skin job types.
I believe it was the end of the Cylon War(s?) to the mini series. And since we know from Razor that the Cylons were already working on skin jobs at the end of the war, *and* the final five showed up to help them figure it out I've got no time with the time table.
But in BSG I never got the idea that monotheism was in any way widespread, more that it was totally foreign to them. But Caprica is establishing that it's a significant minority.
I get contradictory ideas on that. Because in the mini Baltar doesn't treat Six's monotheism as a totally foreign concept to the world, just something he scoffs at like he does all religions at that point. Most of the BSG mains were wither dedicated polytheists or agnostic/atheist or we never really saw them comment on religion. Sure it's "Gods" that regular vocabulary for swearing/exclamation/etc. but I'm not sure what that tells us about everyone's beliefs.
Plus, the entire fleet is a pretty small sampling of humanity at that point, and the main characters a smaller one still so it may just be that not many survived/were represented. But being BSG-verse, I could also see it being something much darker.
