That’s incorrect though. Catholics, Protestants, Methodists, etc are sects of Christianity, the broader body of the religion. Judaism and Islam are their own religions (albeit Abrahamic in origin), with Sunni/Shia being sects of Islam for example.
I mean Scientology also calls itself a religion. What makes Judaism, Islam and Christianity their own religions? They all worshlp the same old god, and all absorbed local culture wherever these disgusting people spread to build their myths.
That’s a good question but there’s a lot of mythos behind it that I’d have to write a paper for.
An easy example is that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of Christianity and worshipped as God’s incarnation on Earth. Muslims and Jews categorically refute this in its entirety, meaning the only thing they share is the Abrahamic god.
