The term "Judaeo-Christian" refers to the commonalities between Judaism and Christianity, including shared values and beliefs. However, this term has been criticized as exclusionary and for implying that other religions and cultures are inferior. In recent years, alternatives to the term "Judaeo-Christian" have been proposed, such as "Abrahamic traditions" which also includes Islam, or "Western religious tradition" which acknowledges the influence of these religions on the development of Western civilization. Other alternatives include "biblical faiths", "faith traditions of the book", and "scriptural religions". These alternatives aim to be more inclusive while still acknowledging the shared roots between Judaism and Christianity.
