Christianity is unique because it requires belief in Jesus Christ as divine and as Saviour who died for the sins of mankind and rose from the grave. The Bible contains the same scripture that Judaism uses because the God of Judaism is the same as the God of Christianity. The two diverge at the point of identifying Jesus as the awaited Messiah and the teachings He brought which differed somewhat to the practises Judaism had adopted. Allah in Islam is not the same as the God of the Bible, having quite different characteristics. The New Testament which is the essence of Christianity is not followed by any other religion.

∙ 8y agoThere are, and have been, many religions that share some of the characteristics of Christianity. Zoroastrianism, the ancient religion of the Persians, taught many of the concepts later found in Christianity, even that the Saoshyant will be born of a virgin to fight evil on earth.
An early and serious competitor to Christianity was Mithraism, which was in some way quite similar, even to having December 25th as the birthday of Mithras.
Manichaeanism was in part Christian, partly Zoroastrian and partly Buddhist, but rejected the Old Testament.
Today, Islam is in some ways very similar to Christianity. Both are derived from Judaism and both worship the same God. Although Islam does not regard Jesus as divine, it does accept him as one of the most important prophets of Islam.
