Christians were kicked out of the synagogues by the Jews because they were considered heretics. It wasn't the Christians' idea.

I do not believe Jesus ever claimed the Jewish religion; however, he was Jewish in culture and ethnicity.
The big difference between Judaism (as a religion) and Christianity is the perspective on Christ. Jews believe that Christ was a mere prophet, rather than a savior who rose 3 days after his crusifiction.
You also have to remember that while Christ was on earth, he still had not been crusified for the sins of the world; therefore, the idea of him being only a prophet and being with the Jews makes sense.

If believing in Christ is good enough for Christians, why isn't it for Jews?
As to the answer stating that Christ wasn't a Jew, probably the most unitelligent answer I've ever see. Christ was raised a Jew. He knew the scriptures better than the high priests. That's why he was hanging out in the Temple for 3 days talking smack with them before, when he was like 10 years old.

You have to look at the world at the birth of Christianity.
There was a great deal of interest in the Roman world in Judaism. But becoming a Jew is a serious challenge: dietary laws, circumcision for men, etc.
Christianity catered this spiritual market by giving people monotheism, with a lot of the nice stuff in Judaism, but without the strict requirements of Judaism.

From a Jewish perspective, being Jewish wasn't good enough for him. He shirked many of the mitzvot (commandments) and encouraged other Jews to follow suit.
As to Christians in general, there are several reasons - the most obvious, of course, being the age-old libels of deicide and collective guilt regarding same. There have historically been other spurious accusations directed at the Jewish people by Christianity, as well.
Personally, I believe that Christianity, and all other proselytic religions for that matter, have an inherent defensiveness about them. To actively attempt to convince others to share one's beliefs, in my opinion, raises questions as to who exactly it is that needs to be convinced. As a Jew who is regularly harassed at his home by Christian missionaries, I find their implicit suggestion that their religion is somehow 'better' than anyone else's to be quite insulting.
From a Christian perspective, it is my understanding that they believe that anyone who does not share their belief is "damned to hell." They feel that it is their duty to "save" the souls of all non-Christians by converting them to Christian belief.

I am a Christian and a Jew.
It is good enough for me.
Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
OLAY!

Christ was born without sin, so he didn't have to worry about being saved.
The Jews were under the law, which never saved anyone from their sins.
For that, they needed the grace that Jesus obtained for us by his perfect sacrifice, just like everyone else, but most of the Jews refused to accept him, and still refuse today.
Judaism was only temporary, and it should have ended with the conversion of all the Jews to Christianity.
It still may.

Because early Christians got to the point where they were crazy fanatics with no regard for their parent religion. The religion we know today as "christianity" stemmed from them.

Jesus wasn't jewish, nor does the Jewish religion recognize him as the savior.
