Is it unfair to Jewish people to refer to creationism in the USA as ‘Judeo/Christian creationism’?
I mean, technically it is Judeo/Christian creationism since it is dedicated to perpetuating the Judeo/Christian creation myth and not the creation myth of any other religion which of course is perfectly equivalent. But I think it might be unfair to bring down Judaism to the same level of creationism in the USA since American Christians have taken creationism to new depths of intellectual depravity, never seen before on earth. From what I know of Jewish people, there are only a small percentage of misguided people who cling to the Jewish creation myth as infallible truth compared to the 60-70% of American Christians who do so. So should it be referred to as ‘Christian creationism’ instead of ‘Judeo/Christian creationism’?
