A wording which I find less acceptable is "Judeo-Christian." There  is no 
such thing as a Judeo-Christian. Jews are not Christians, and Christians  are not 
Jews. 


This, of course, is a doctrinal formulation, calling for adoption or  
rejection.  It recalls a battle line that brewed below the surface,  and then boiled 
over, in the Petrine-Pauline disputes.  Nonetheless,  having represented Jews 
for Jesus, and having been told by those that I  represented that they were 
"Jews" who believed in "Jesus," I have my doubts that  your categorical fiat 
must be right. 
 
On the other hand, if the Israeli Supreme Court and the law of return are  
the definitional gold standard for who is a Jew, then Jews who believe Jesus is  
the promised Messiah are not Jews.
