You sound like a woke liberal telling me I can never understand the “lived experience" of a black lesbian midget! It’s just identity politics of another stripe.
There is no “Christian ideology!” There are 100 different factions of Christians who killed each other for centuries over these differences. Then there are millions of Christians who have Christian parents, but don’t even practice at all. You cannot speak generally about Jewish or Muslim or Christian ideology and apply it even to a majority of any of those groups.

I don’t agree with Chris on everything but he’s completely right on this one. When you blanket whole groups together under a perceived stereotype, you negate the individual.
The existence of sub-factions does not disprove the existence of a shared, overarching ideology. Those Christians who fought each other, how many of them didn’t believe in core stories like genesis, the crucifixion, or the resurrection?
If anything, the fact that even people with shared ideologies will fight to the death over smaller differences should tell you how dangerous a multicultural world will become.
I can tell you what a Christian, Muslim, and Jew generally believes. Your denial that these religious identities have meaning and define culture will not serve you well.
