One of my friends parents was Jewish and the other was Christian, so he grew up as half and half. (Now he's an athiest, but thats not the point) Learning about his childhood made me wonder: How is that he never had to choose one religion? You can't believe in both at the same time, yet many people claim that their religion is both Jewish and Christian. I understand that you can still celebrate the culture and history of the Jewish people while also celebrating the traditions of whatever religion your following, but I want to know is:
Why, once someone is old enough to determine their own religion and it's not up to their parents anymore, they still say that their RELIGION is both Jewish and Christian instead of saying that their religion is whatever one they've chosen to follow and believe in and say that their Family history and culture is Jewish? Are the people who say that they believe in both just mistaken about how to phrase it, or am I missing something?

1 simple example: trees on the African plains develop long thorns designed to protect them against herbivores, giraffes at the same time develop sponge-like tongues which allows it to eat thorns without damaging its mouth... now surely intelligent design cannot be an option as the two features cancel each other out, thus would not have been specifically designed this way. The giraffe does eat the tree in the end, so why not design a tree without thorns, and a giraffe with a normal tongue? As I said just 1 example... ???
