Right you are. As a Catholic with 16 years of Catholic schooling, I never once was taught that Abraham was the father of Christianity. That is plain silly. Abraham is a great figure in the history of Judaism. Jesus was a Jew from whom Christianity flowed. Catholics have great respect for the elders of the Old Testament, but to say that anyone of them, Abraham, Moses, Jacob, etc. was a father of Christianity and Islam is absurd. Looks like just more PC thinking to me.

Well as a Catholic perhaps you do not see Abraham as your "father"

As a Christian I believe I worship the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob...I believe we are ingrafted into the family tree of Abraham by faith..

No need to go that route. We (Europeans and Americans) are in the direct genetic line, just like our Jewish cousins. (See Profile.)
