Although these three religions are similar, they are very different. All three are monotheistic. All believe in Jesus to some extent. Unfortunately, all three have major splits. They all have holy books ,and they all have a house of worship to call their own. They all also have a name for their god. They are all very similar.

However, they can also be very different. Though all believe Jesus existed, Christianity is the only out of the three that belive that he is the son of god. Also, Jews believe that Jesus was a false prophet. All of them have different, main days of worship. They all call their houses of worship and holy books different names. Lastly, they were all founded at different times. These three religions are very similar, but very different.
