What do Christianity, Islamism and Judaism have in common?

I have to do this Ethics project for school, and I have no clue what these three religions have in common! They seem to not have any similarities, and for me to try and find any, at all, I'd have to read so many articles on them, and I don't particularly grasp big words well, and I'd have to look up a lot of words and in the end I still wouldn't get it, you know?

So can anyone please help?

They've all killed people in the name of God.

Seriously.

They all profess to worship the same god. Also they are all wrong about a lot of things.

They're all essentially the same, and are copy cats of previously existing religions and philosophies.

they are all wrong.

mass murder ,child abuse,war. stoning people, torture the same god

Members all breathe air, drink water and eat food.

Controlling their followers through fear. Fear of going to hell if they do not obey the word of God and do what they are told by their religious leaders.

They all claim to possess the one and only truth and worship the one and only god.

they all believe in god.


they all have no evidence that there is a god and rely on group peer pressure for believers.


they all believe they are the only way to salvation (whatever that means) and that the others are wrong.

they all end up reduced to a power struggle in a community

They all believe and worship the same Almighty God. And that is where the similarities end.

They believe in one God.
They all believe in Adam and Eve as the first male and female.
They all have a Holy Book.
They all have Religious buildings.
They all believe in Moses and every prophet starting with Abraham.
They all believe that the Messiah will come upon earth one day.
They all believe that drinking and gambling is wrong.

Ya i had to do this to. It was a pain, I had to research about them building a mosque on ground zero. Which I think is really bad.

OK then...
1. Allah is Islamic for God.
2. Jesus is a prophet in the Koran.
3. The angel Gabriel is also mentioned in the Koran as telling Mohammad to start the Muslim faith.
4. They all mention and are supposedly the sons and daughters of Abraham.
5. Certain branches of Christianity and Islamic and Judaism are not allowed to eat pork.
6. The religions were all started out in the middle east.

They all mention the same characters in addition of at least one or two..depending on how old the religion is
