Jesus was always a Jew. So were his disciples.
In fact, as Christianity began to spread, it was one of many sects of Judiasm, until doctrinal differences between Jews and Christians let to the separation of the two religions.

Jesus was born a Jew and remained a Jew all his life. Jesus didn't found any religion. Paul and others founded the religion.

Jesus was born a Jew. He had to be to fulfill the prophesies about him. He had to be born in the line of David. He had to suffer and die. He had to be rejected by the world. He had to bring salvation to the Jew and the Gentile. I think there are several hundred prophesies concerning Jesus hundreds of years before he came. He fulfilled all of them. And by the way, Jesus was not a muslim and the God of the Bible is the real God. The God of Isaac and Abraham, is God and not the god of Ishmael and his decendants.

He was a Jew
Christianity was a nickname given to the Messianic Jews after he ascended up into heaven. It has stuck and now we are called Christians.

of course. however, he started a very unjewish religion which some jews, sadly, bought into.
Thank G-d, the vast majority of jews never bought into it and oftentimes gave up their lives rather than succumb to idolatry.

As for his religious identity, Jesus (pbuh) was always a Jew.
More spiritually profound meaning... he was a Muslim. A Muslim is one who, with the totality of his/her mind/body/spirit, competely submits to the will of God. Jesus submitted completely to the will of God with everything in him, so therefore, he was a Muslim.
