Abrahamic religions (also known as Abrahamic faiths, Abrahamic traditions, religions of Abraham and semitic religions) has been used to designate the world's three primary monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, emphasizing their common origin and values. For some 1,300 years their histories and thought have been intertwined. They are considered inextricably linked to one another because of a 'family likeness' and a certain commonality in theology. They are faiths that recognize a spiritual tradition identified with Abraham. However, relationships among them have varied from time and place and have often been characterized by mistrust, hatred and even war/persecution (e.g., the Muslim conquests, the Crusades, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Inquisition). Phrased another way, the sacred narratives of all three of these religions feature many of the same figures, histories and places in each, although they often present them with slightly different roles, perspectives and meanings.

Today, there are an estimated 3.8 billion followers of the three largest Abrahamic religions, accounting for more than half of the world's population.

By contrast, the major non-Abrahamic world religions are Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. They are the "Eastern religions" that include the "Dharmic" religions of India and the "Taoic" East Asian religions.

Recently, some have asserted that certain smaller religions qualify as Abrahamic, including the Bahá'í Faith.

Why aren't the Abrahamic beliefs considered mythology?
Q. History considers the old Greek, Roman, Celtic, and Norse pantheons "mythology" yet never cites the Bible, the Quran, and the religious beliefs of the Abrahamic faiths (Judiasm, Christianity, and Islam) as mythology. Why not? If the term "mythology" comes from the idea of legends and beliefs people and cultures believe to be true, then certainly all the beliefs of Christianity and Islam fall under that since there are people who believe those legends to be true (just as people have *and few still do* the beliefs of the Greek, Egyptian, and Roman pantheons, for example). Why don't they list it under as "Biblical Mythology" or something to that effect? (Of course all of this depends on one's belief system because to some the Pagan gods… [cont.]

A. They will be considered mythology in the future just like all other religions. The only reason they're not right now is because of the vast number of people who ascribe to the Abrahamic religions. I'm sure that when Paganism was the popular religion thousands of years ago, they weren't considered mythology at the time either.

A. I do! As an Edain, I worship the Ainulindale, that is: Music of the Ainur. The music of Iluvatar was the creation of the universe, known as Ea, and thus is sacred. Metal, I deem, is the most significant and epic music, but that is open to interpretation.
