Christianity came to supersede judasim but yes we share 5 books of the old testament.
But to say America was founded with judeo values is a stretch and not true --when it was Christian values.
The term "Judeo-Christian" is a 20th-century construct. It gained traction in the 1930s–1950s, initially among liberals to combat anti-Semitism and fascism by emphasizing shared roots of Judaism and Christianity, then during the Cold War to unify against "godless communism." It was not used by the founders or in founding-era documents. Judaism had minimal direct influence on 18th-century American political thought—Jews were a tiny minority, and Old Testament ideas were filtered almost entirely through Christian (especially Protestant) interpretation.
Claiming "Judeo-Christian" retroactively includes Judaism in a way that doesn't match the historical record, where the dominant cultural force was Christianity (Protestant varieties). It often serves modern rhetorical purposes (e.g., inclusivity or cultural conservatism) rather than precise history.
But yes just go ahead and keep parroting the line.
“Christianity came to supersede judasim but yes we share 5 books of the old testament.”
Yeah, you missed the mark - those 5 books that you so carelessly acknowledged form the basis of Christianity. The creation is explained, the Creator illuminated, the introduction of evil, the fall of mankind, the Seed War proclaimed, the Redeemer foretold, the war exposed, the playing field leveled, and the main players named…And that’s just Genesis.
And you forgot about the chronicles of the kings and the writings of the prophets. You’re not a serious person if you can’t recognize facts.
You might want to read your Bible again, it’s very specific. Maybe you missed this part:
[Rev 7:4-8 KJV] 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5 Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Christianity has its roots in Judaism. You don’t have to like it, but it is factual.

Says the guy using a coined term from the early 1900s lol.
I need you to reread my comments slower. Doesn't sound like you absorb things well.
Plus somehow you've already lost the plot that America was not founded on judeo values. But sip that copium harder.
Since we want to talk facts more don't forget Jews = God's former chosen people.

So what you’re saying is that God made a mistake about choosing the Jews because He wasn’t omniscient. Um, yeah, that’s kinda stupid.
