ALSO also, as others have mentioned, “Judeo-Christian” is not a neutral framing. It has a particular vector of deployment by specific groups who mean it in a very intentional way.

It flattens the concerns of diverse groups and it smuggles assumed Jewish support into areas where Jewish people might and probably do have wildly divergent views from the “Christians” in question.

End of the day, “Judeo-Christian” is almost always used as a euphemis phrase for “White Christian Dominionist Eschalotogy.”

“Abrahamically-derived” is more descriptively accurate, but still, if you mean to talk productively, carefully, nuancedly about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, it’s probably better to just SAY, “Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.”
