I doubt you will find many jews who believe they are Christians and most would find the statement offensive and Harris bigoted.
I cannot state it any clearer than did a poster on another Harris thread earlier today:
People often use Christian for Judeo-Christian. Morally the two are inseparable.
The distinction is not between Christian and Other, it is between people of faith and people of anti-faith. Issues like this are thus not always great for soundbites, and are usually covered in religion journals, where the distinctions can be drawn. But anyone using their brain knows Harris isn't talking about favoring 'Christians' like Clinton or excluding Jews, et al. That's CLEARLY not the point.
