How are the Abrahamic religions similar?
The main three similarities among the three Abrahamic religions are there belief in one god (monotheism), tracing their origins from Abraham, and all considering Jerusalem a holy city. However it is the difference between each individual religion that make them different.

Why is Judaism Christianity Christianity and Islam called Abrahamic religions?
