Christianity and Judaism are to widely popular religions that people practice in the world. We have talked about both Christianity and Judaism in class and I have noticed that each religion has many similarities and differences between them. Christianity and Judaism were created and spread across the world in completely different, but both Christianity and Judaism had effects on politics. There are many other things that Judaism and Christianity have in common and there are many other differences between them. Christianity is one of the most popular religions in the United States. You are more likely to run into someone who practices the Christian religion than someone who practices the Jewish religion. “The United States was founded primarily by Christian minorities fleeing Britain and Europe in the wake of the Protestant Reformation” (Rowe 53). Christianity spread throughout the United States very quickly and easily because the founders of the United States practiced Christianity. There were no other religions that were spreading throughout the United States when it was first founded so Christianity spread very quickly. “Over time, dozens of new religious movements would emerge in the United States and then move on to revolutionize the world of religion” (Rowe 53). Christianity helped start many other types of religions. People would use parts of Christianity that they liked and get rid of the parts of Christianity that they didn’t like in order to create their new
The primary similarity between Judaism and Christianity is based on the notion that they regard sin as a rebellion. They affirm that God, through his word, has made his will well-known to all people. Thus, it is a sin to live contrary to this set will of God and there are consequences. More so, both religions consider God as being all powerful and supreme and though he allows people to sin, he confines the freedom. The religions consider that God allows sin as a means of
Judaism shapes our understanding of Christianity because both religions are based on the Hebrew bible. Judaism's greatest influence on Christianity was the notion of the messiah.

As of today, Christianity and Islam are the world’s two largest and rapidly growing religions. They share an estimated 3.6 billion followers, more than half of the world’s population. Initially the two religions may seem to have nothing in common, but when you go beyond the surface and examine the rituals, beliefs, and founders, as well as the spread of both religions, they share many similarities. In many ways, there is irony in tension between Christianity and Islam, given the extremely similar history and nature of their religions. It is perhaps lost on many people who subscribe to these religions that there is no more truth to one than the other. But when observed from an objective viewpoint it is undeniable that both Christianity and Islam are remarkably similar in origin and ideology. In order to see and understand their similarities, it is important to look back to the birth and rise of both religions.
Christianity is one of the most popular religions in the western world. Judaism is the backbone of Christianity because many ideals in Christianity were developed from Judaism. For example, Judaism and Christianity involves the Old Testament, specifically the first five books of the bible, but Christianity also accepts the New Testament. Another aspect of religion that is prominent today is volunteerism in Christianity. It was one of the reasons the religion grew in popularity so quickly in the western world.
A second important similarity is Christianity uses the Jewish holy texts, called the Five Books of Moses or the Torah. They took these books and made them into what they call the Old Testament of their holy book, The Bible. This also means that the creation story is shared between both religions. They both believe that, according to the text, everything was created out of nothing in six days by God and on
With the mystical unions in both Christianity and Judaism, there are many similarities. One of these similarities is the celebration of a wedding. In the Christian tradition, the wedding is between Christ and his people. When a person gets ready to take communion, they wear their Sunday best and they have prepared themselves to receive the Lord and be united with Him. In the Jewish tradition, the wedding that is being celebrated is that of the Shekinah and the Tiferet. This union brings the cosmos and the Sefirot in balance, which causes a rejoicing because God becomes one. This is done by the lower worlds are reunited with the upper worlds, which allows God graces to shine down. This wedding also returns the Jews to their homeland and return the Shekinah from exile (Sherwin). The wedding is a big aspect in both Christianity and Judaism.
Since the dawn of man, millions of people around the world coming from all kinds of diverse cultures and different backgrounds have been born into a family where some sort of religion is practiced. Fortunately, in the modern day here in the United States, we are free to worship and practice any religion we please. Two of the main religions in the United States and North America in general is Judaism and Christianity. It goes without saying that these two religions do have a lot in common, which is mostly due to the fact that Judaism was the forefather of Christianity. The main base is the same for both religions, the Old Testament.

Out of all the religions in the world Christianity and Judaism in my opinion have the most similar rites and rituals. They also share many beliefs and flow many of the same rules. Even though some of the rituals might seem like they are completely different, when you look deeply and find the true meaning, you will see that most of the time they share the same message. But even with all of these similarities its the differences that make them unique and these differences are what splits them apart. The three main similarities in both Christianity and Judaism is the first step into adult hood, the last step into adult hood and the Shabbat and the Sabbath.
