Abrahamic religions are monotheistic faiths that recognize a spiritual tradition identified with Abraham.[1][2][3] Three of the world's major religions—the monotheist traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—were all born in the Middle East and are all inextricably linked to one another. Christianity was born from within the Jewish tradition. Today, there are an estimated 3.8 billion followers of the three major Abrahamic religions,[4] accounting for more than half of the world's population.
Use of the term "Abrahamic" is far from universal and has been found to be problematic for many reasons.[5]
For reference, the major non-Abrahamic world religions are Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.[6] They are the "Eastern religions" that include the "Dharmic" religions of India and the "Taoic" East Asian religions.
