Well, if you read over your first two paragraphs, you seem to be saying that Christianity like Islam has no soul, is a fake religion, and a cult.
It's not entirely true to say that Christianity is not an ancient religion, because it is an unfolding of Judaism. In the opening of his gospel, John says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God, and without him was not anything made that was made." Elsewhere, Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I AM."
In other words, the Son of God was born in the fullness of time, but the Second Person of the Trinity existed from the beginning.

Well perhaps I was not clear or perhaps you took issue with my use of the word cult as applied to Christianity. The word once had a meaning (and still does actualy) outside our modern perjoritive use of it.
I agree with you fully in your assertions of Christianity and Judaism. But we need to understand that from the outside an observer would have a hard time understanding that Christians (knowlegable ones) believe themselves to be 'grafted in' sons of Abraham. Jews certainly have a hard time with it.
