- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

If we wish to be very pedantic on your first point. Judaism as seen at the time of Jesus Christ died out with the destruction of the second temple in 70 A.D. With only very few scattered communities remaining today. Rabinic Judaism as seen now and what many would consider Judaism is based on a series of works culminated in the Talmud written around 500 A.D. with old testament religious laws. Furthermore, since Mohammed lived between 570 and 632, Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism are the oldest Abrahamic religion. Also, Christianity has many more followers than Islam and Judaism, making the term Christian God not wrong.
If you want to be this pedantic, the basis for Christianity as we know it today lies in the First Council of Nicaea from 325 AD. Furthermore the Catholicism and Orthodox that we know today, relying heavily on iconography only came into existence with the Second Council of Nicaea in 787.
Finally Christian make up the majority of Abrahamic Faith at around 55% , however would you consider the Political system of say the UK to be a "Labour party system" because they make up the majority? Would the US political system be the "Republican party system"? Or would you say that the multiplicity in them has to be acknowledged?
