This comment is sort of funny because the term Judeo-Christian gained prominence is the 1940s as a political tool to unite christians and jews in America (forget all that historical baggage you guys are on the same team!), and here you're essentially doing the same. Maybe good intentioned, but still similar.

I'm not trying to unite anyone. I was just pointing out that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are closely related, and only distantly related to anything Han Chinese.

Fun fact, that's how you unite people :)

For more details see RCT, which specifies that ingroup bonding accompanies outgroup hostility. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realistic_conflict_theory
