If Christians’ God created all this are all the others heretics?

Never experienced or thought of being derisive of other beliefs and I’ve read a few different interpretations of the Christian Bible and have been to various temples and churches. All were impressive, but I could see how some who are devout would think poorly of another’s religion; the Catholic Church was known for that a few decades ago.

The Old Testament doesn’t just belong to Christians, either. It belongs to the Jews. Even Islam believes that Jesus can be their salvation. It’s a reason hy I ask where other religions stand? If I know of those two, odds are there’d be others not Christian who claim Jesus. What about them?

“If Christians’ God created all this are all the others heretics?” [excerpt]

I would describe those who have not accepted the gift of salvation as lost.

“Never experienced or thought of being derisive of other beliefs and I’ve read a few different interpretations of the Christian Bible and have been to various temples and churches. All were impressive, but I could see how some who are devout would think poorly of another’s religion; the Catholic Church was known for that a few decades ago.” [excerpt]

I guess I am somewhat indifferent to religion as I do not equate it to salvation.

“The Old Testament doesn’t just belong to Christians, either. It belongs to the Jews.” [excerpt]

It is also the foundation of the New Testament which affirms the Old.

“Even Islam believes that Jesus can be their salvation.” [excerpt]

Knowing that Jesus can be your savior does not equate to placing your faith in Him and accepting His gift.

Additionally, Islam denies the deity and [apparently] the death of Christ on the cross.

“It’s a reason hy I ask where other religions stand?” [excerpt]

Seeing as how what Jesus wants is a relationship, I would say religions [when it comes to salvation] stand out in the cold.

All of them.

“If I know of those two, odds are there’d be others not Christian who claim Jesus. What about them?” [excerpt]

If to claim Jesus is to place your faith in Him and accept His gift of eternal life per the scriptures, how can you not be a Christian at the same time?

They are indeed antipodal.
