I remember having this discussion last year or so. I'd say it should be Abrahamic. The reason I say this is because I don't feel that Muslims and Jews should be excluded. However, I'd almost suggest putting this as monotheistic religions. For one thing, all of the Abrahamic religions are. Also, this would include things like Zoroastrianism which, contrary to my former belief, is still around, and the Baha'i Faith. Just a thought.

Not only that, but there is sufficient overlap in the Abrahamic religions that it should give us something to talk about, to bond over, excuses to learn more about our brother and sister faiths.

Greetings,
As much as I am new here, and as much as I have yet to establish any significant credibility, I realize that the following could be weighted accordingly. That said:
Lumping the many different - Abrahamic faiths as stated - into the same assumes that they are collectively the 'same', which of course they are not. Now, that said, as an organizer of my own website and other such content that requires organization it would be silly to break things apart to provide - as others have pointed out - desolate places for certain topics of like nature.
My concern here is that Christianity is not the same across the different faith groups, not in the slightest, and without some sort of legend to decipher this, it could be come apparent to those passing and without prior knowledge, that they are.
I would however, vote to change it to "Christian(ity)" versus Abrahamic...but in doing so, I would also cut out things such as Judaism, Islam, etc and re-house those elsewhere...since they are not Christian in the slightest (but deserving of their own section).
My 32 cents.
