As a cultural Jew, I found the appropriation of that name by Christian cultural supremacists to be maximally annoying.
Abraham, Judeo-Christian, or did I miss a step?
I can't count the number of times I was told that "Jews read the Old Testament."
I ran into the visual version of this a couple of years back with John Singer Sargent's The Triumph of Religion (1919), where for "religion" one should mostly read "Christianity," and that was interesting, where for "interesting" one should mostly read "I am unsurprised to hear that Boston Jews of the time yelled at him about it; I would have." "Old and busted . . . new hotness" is not a reasonable way to talk about a living religion.
