The term “judeo-Christian” is bullshit invented to sell Zionism

irl Judaism and Christianity both have more in common with Islam than either have with each other. Furthermore America used to be deeply anti-Jewish and it’s only recently where Jews have started to become assimilated into the core American identity.

but in the 20s during the height of the KKK this obviously wasn’t the case.

That's not impossible but it probably stems from the fact that the Christian Bible contains the Old Testament as well, which is considered a Jewish religious book (or at least close enough to the Torah)

As a kid when I heard about the KKK it blew my mind how evil it was, I thought it was a satanic terrorist group

Which is true if judged by their actions

Yeah but the actual theology of the two religions is radically different because Judaism accepts the Oral law as part of the Torah whereas Christianity rejects the Oral law and accepts the New Testament.

What this means is that for Jews, Jesus was a heretic, false prophet, and worshipping him means you cut yourself off from God and the Jewish people forever.

Meanwhile for Christians, Jesus is God and denying Jesus means you burn in Hell forever.

I was just throwing it out as the simplest reasoning for the term judeo-christian.
I'm familiar with Jesus' position in Judaism and Christianity.
