>>212397025oh so that's what you mean. yeah christianity was in its origin a jewish phenomenon but over time it was reinterpreted and reformed so much by the political powers of their time that it morphed more into an apology of the powers that wanted to tax their serfs. think the greco-roman empire(s), then the catholic church, then the feudal lords, ultimately the kings and emperors of the modern age.
not to mention that a lot of "christian" traditions are in fact roman traditions. I won't write an exhaustive list because it's common knowledge that the christian calendar is litered with pagan festivities and that crhistianity has a lot of pagan symbolism, but a big one is the culture of patriarchal monogamy and subservience to authority, which were very important aspects of roman society.
then I will argue that jesus preached a gnostic amalgam of religions, a post religion, not a judaic one. he used judaic language because that's what he and his peers were familiar with, but it was a great leap forward and reformation, similar to what islam was in its time and inception.
then I will also argue that judaism in its inception was not monotheistic, nor was it focused on escathology, those were taken from the zoroastrians, and they were widely held beliefs all throught the persian empire at the time. later came the greek influence from plato and plotinus about the idea of a perfect god as the generator of the world of forms, or rather the prime mover of aristotle. yahweh was not a perfect god in the old testament.
there are plenty of philosophical and historical sources on what I tried to abreviate, and it makes sense given how syncretic religion was at that time (one can think of how fast the romans made christianity their own).
which is why I reiterate my point. jews were indeed an important building block, but to say that judaic thought was a uniquely important and influential piece of western knowledge and civilization is a stretch, you'd have to ignore a lot
