Judaism = No more child sacrifice. No more paganistic child sacrifice. This was a great advancement for humanity. Though in the East, I suppose Buddhism also prohibits child sacrifice.

Judaism started around 2000 BCE, traditionally marked by the covenant between God and Abraham, who is regarded as the patriarch of the faith. This foundational event set the basis for Judaism’s religious identity, including the laws given to Moses such as the Ten Commandments.

Buddhism began much later, in the 6th century BCE, founded by Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) in northern India. After his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, he spent about 45 years teaching the path to enlightenment and liberation from suffering.
