A) Jews dont believe in Jesus
B) Jews don't await the return of Christ
C) Muslims believe in Jesus, Mary and the Holy Spirit
D) Muslims await the return of Jesus Christ, just like the Christians.
So, should'nt America be a Christo-Muslim nation? or an Abrahmic nation, encompassing all three great true faiths.
Here is a link to the Muslims Holy book, the Koran. Search for Jesus and see what the Koran says.

America is a nation that happens to have people of different faiths in it. To tag a label onto it which implies that it is the property of one particular group is absurd and dishonest.

C) Muslims do NOT believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son of God or the Holy Spirit. The "God" of Islam is not the God of Christianity. It's like comparing Lord to Baal- they both mean Lord but one is Divine the other is of the Devil. Sorry no cigar.
Jews that believe in God (there are unbelievers in every nation) believe the Old Testament , the Law and Prophets. So B is true. As far as Judeo-Christian YES! The reason is that America was founded and promoted mostly by Anglo Saxons. Western Europeans- they are Isaac's Sons. That's where the term comes from. NOT ISHMAEL'S- so get over it! You ever hear of Jacob and Esau? Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated. He sold the birthright- Its gone! never to be again. What do you think? No wonder you're trying to merge with the Blessed. I would renounce Islam and turn to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Heavenly Father, and Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

America is a Freedom of Religion nation. Which encompases the ones you mentioned and any others you can think of, as well as the lack of religion or belief in God. We don't need to re-phrase the symantics of "Judeo-Christian" to "Christo-Muslim" nation or an "Abrahmic nation" because the ones you mentioned are just as false as calling the US "Judeo-Christian". So the answer: None of the Above.
It would be like asking if we should call the US Franco-British nation or Sino-German nation? Neither would be correct because we accept from all nations. Just supplant religion into this example...even "scientologists" get recognition. Hell, even Christians somehow get taken seriously.

As a Jew, I totally agree that the word should be Christo-Muslim! Or even Judeo-Muslim. The only reason Christians have tacked on Judeo is because they need the authority/validity provided by the Hebrew Bible.
However... America should NOT be associated with any religion whatsoever. Our nation was founded on freedom to worship the God of our choice which we would lose if religion became entangled with government!

America is no longer a Christian nation.. The Jesus that Muslims wait for is very very different from the Jesus that the Christians wait for. Jesus will establish his kingdom as King of Kings and Lord of Lords and will judge the living and the dead at the great white throne judgment.
Not the same Jesus of the Koran..The saviour that the Koran claims will reign for 7 years.

international locations based relatively at the instant (u.s., Australia, Canada, and so on) oftentimes have no history of a state enforced faith. in case you elect thinly-veiled christian censorship, bypass to Europe. some international locations there nonetheless have a super style of Christian impact. Greece springs right this moment to recommendations. So, no, i do no longer think of that any of england's former colonial possessions is the two Christian or Judeo-christian. they're secular.

America was built on Judeo-Christian values. Muslims weren't really in on the foundation of the nation. But sure, why not? Has Islam got anything to add to the Constiturion? As far as I know, Islamic nations aren't in the habit of limitting the power of their government.
Try again, when the war is over...

Ideally, America would drop all this religion BS and start focusing on more important things. However, I know this isn't ever going to to happen, so I guess my answer is... What are you talking about?
Oh, and actually, Jews do believe in Jesus, they just don't believe that he is the Messiah.

the entire term "Judeo-Christian" is moronic and has no value
the same goses for "Christo-Muslim"
America is a nation that allows freedom of worship and dose not have a national religion. Thats it.

Sigh.
You obviously don't understand that the term Judeo-Christian refers to the Bible. You have two faiths rolled into one in that book - Judaism and Christianity. That America was settled by the Pilgrims, who left England because of religious persecution. Further, your lame attempt to get us to read the Qur'an was pretty transparent. Nice try, though.
