And anyway, the proper formulation is now
"Judeo-Christian-Islam," the better to distinguish us from the other 2.3% of
"believers." See Scalia, J., dissenting in McCreary

There is no such thing as a Judeo-Christian. Jews are not Christians, and

I think you are misconstruing
the term. The term "Judeo-Christian", at least as I have seen it used,
generally refers to a worldview drawn from that common ground which does exist
between Judaism and Christianity. Nobody who uses the term
Judeo-Christian does so assuming that there is such a thing as a
Judeo-Christian or that Jews and Christians are interchangable.
