As long as we're obsessing about adjectives, should that be "Judeo-Christian-Islamic"?

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 County.

A wording which I find less acceptable is "Judeo-Christian." There is no such thing as a Judeo-Christian. Jews are not Christians, and Christians are not Jews.
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.
