ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS = THE ORIGINS OF JUDAISM; CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM

THE FOUNDATION OF MAJOR RELIGIONS

It has been suggested that the phrase, "Abrahamic religion", may simply mean that all these religions come from one spiritual source. Christians refer to Abraham as a "father in faith".[Rom. 4] There is an Islamic religious term, Millat Ibrahim (faith of Ibrahim), indicating that Islam sees itself as having practices tied to the traditions of Abraham. Jewish tradition claims descendance from Abraham, and adherents follow his practices and ideals as the first of the three spiritual "fathers" or BIBLICAL PATRIARCHS: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

All the major Abrahamic religions claim a direct lineage to ABRAHAM. 

Abrahamic religions (also SEMITIC religions) are monotheistic religions of West Asian origin, emphasizing and tracing their common origin to Abraham or recognizing a spiritual tradition identified with him. They comprise one of the major divisions in religion. 

As of the early 21st century, it was estimated that 54% of the world's population (3.8 billion people) considered themselves adherents of the Abrahamic religions, about 30% of other religions, and 16% of no organized religion.

The largest Abrahamic religions in chronological order of founding are Judaism (1st millennium BCE), Christianity(1st century CE), and Islam(7th century CE).
