Why do people count Judaism as one of the world's "Big Three" religions? (Thats rhetorical, I know its because they are raised with their heads up Jewish ass)

Aren't they (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) called the Big Three because they are intimately connected, not because they are the three biggest?
According to Wikipedia Judaism is outnumbered by Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism.
History isn't your strong suit, is it?
Thanks for the laugh.
Here we go again with the whole "hurr durr my religion is better because we have a majority(in this small geographic area)! Minorities are teh suck!1!!
Newsflash: Geniuses are a minority, dumbfuck. So are biologists, authors, engineers, sushi chefs, chemists, mathematicians and other great minds.
Being a majority doesn't amount to SHIT.
Wikipedia informs me:
Jehovah's Witnesses: 7.5 million (including all splinter groups that self-identify as such)
Jewish population: 14.5 million (plus or minus a few million depending on how you define someone's being a Jew).
And, as others have noted, the Abrahamic faiths are considered together because of their shared history and doctrines. Numbers have nothing to do with it.
Your Argument Is Invalid.
Jadaism is the route of all Christian or Islamic beliefs. It's weird how some fundies know this and it locks them in as commited to a Jewish Isreal and others deny the Jews any respect.
Your Bible calls them the "chosen people", your Jesus is one of them and his time, save three awful days (presented in a glorious widescreen snuff film by Mel (I don't hate The fuckin devious Jews) Gibson) was spent only with them.
Look up Abrahamic religions you idiot
It's one of the Big Three as the three are connected. Judaism came first, out of it sprang Christianity and then Islam.
The tiny minority is 14 million, according to Wikipedia. Jehovah's witnesses has about half that number; 7,3 million, according to the same source.
Maybe its not numbers that make a religion "great."
Granted, I would be a poor one to ask what does make a religion "great." I can think of a lot of things that aren't great about religion though.
Because two of the largest religions in terms of membership evolved DIRECTLY from Judaism: Christianity and Islam.
Judaism was great in influence, if not in numbers of adherents.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
