Since they are all Abrahamic in nature? Shouldn't Judaism, Christianity and Islam be considered denominations instead of separate religions?
Judaism started with Abraham as the founding patriarch said to be around 1500 BCE, and then the Hebrew Bible called the Tanakh - also known as the Old Testament - was finalized around 200 BCE.
Christianity veered from Judaism - starting out as a Jewish sect - around the 1st century because they considered Jesus as the son of God and later established the New Testament around 45 CE.
Islam came after Christianity with Muhammad blending Hanif or pre-Islamic monotheism with a blend of both Jewish and Christian beliefs and thus forming the Koran in 633 CE.
Sounds like one religion with three major denominations to me. What do you think?
