You could also make the argument that Christians and Jews and Muslims are all Abrahamists but different sects.

    Christianity is a single religion. Catholics and Protestants are just branches.

    According to you. But yours is not the only opinion on the subject.

    it's preposterous.

    Not in the slightest. All of the Abrahamic religions use the same Old Testament and then have additional texts. And Catholics and Protestants, just like Muslims and Jews, do not have the same number of additional texts.

      This isn't an opinion, and ironically the list you've written doesn't distinguish between shia and sunni in Islam. It's not even coherent. Your argument is absurd.

      You could certain distingiush between Shia and Sunni if you were so inclined.

      Catholics and Protestants do not have different numbers of "additional texts". There is only the bible.

      Ah, that's where you're wrong. The Catholic Bible has 73 books. The Protestant Bible has 66 books. The two do not agree on what does and doesn't constitute "The Bible," so they use different Bibles.

      Ask a Catholic that.

      But Abraham served his guests meat and dairy. Not kosher.

      I looked that one up. Apparently it's a messy question.
