The utter conflation of jews=Israel is so systemic in writing and literature it borders on profane. I saw a Christian article the other day that was talking about something in the Old Testament and when they used the name "Hebrew", they actually wrote "Hebrew/Jew", as if the tribe of Judah not only existed at the time but was the entire relic of the Hebrew people. It's just as bad as the judeo-Christian hyphenation bullshit. Anyway, here's this classic, who cares where they came from, they're a problem now. https://gvid.tv/v/UNCUMp
An apt correction is to say Greco-Christian, since the morality of Christianity can largely be seen in Greek philosophy. The New Testament even goes so far to quote Greek philosophy and presents it as a statement of truth.
The problem is that Talmudic Judaism is conflated with Biblical Judaism. And while Christianity has a continuity with Biblical Judaism (as a fulfilment of Biblical Judaism), it does not share a table with Talmudic Judaism. Christianity is the unveiled form of Biblical Judaism.
You are correct to say that "Hebrew/Jew' would be an inappropriate term to apply backward to a point before Judah.
The New Testament goes so far as to echo statements of truth from Seneca, a Greek Stoic. It's fair to say at least some elements of Christianity were grown from Greece.
Beyond origin, Christianity relies heavily on Greek philosophers for many of its theological treatises. It also remains easier to explain concepts like the Trinity using ontology and other Greek philosophy.
An interesting connection is the premise that Greek philosophy would trace back to ancient Egypt.
The morality of Christianity is more compatible with Greek philosophy than it is with Talmudism. And usually when someone is talking about Christian achievements they are talking about achievements leading from the Holy Roman Empire (Greek + Christian) and onward, and not in any way about Talmudic Judaic culture or ethics.
Take it or leave it, but that's my ten cent tour for why 'Greco-Christian' makes more sense than 'Judeo-Christian'. And from that I'm only proposing that "Greco-Christian" could be provided as a counter to "Judeo-Christian".
Do any so-called jews just practice Judaism or are they all Talmudists? I don't know, they all seem fairly evil.
I would be surprised to find any group that calls themselves "Jewish" that doesn't follow the Talmud. Orthodox and Reformed are the two major sects and they are each Talmudic.
And from a Christian perspective, I agree, the Talmud as a whole is evil.
