>>>For Western Civilization to be saved Western countries must rediscover what made them great. The answer isn’t Judaism for any of them

I mentioned the ancient Greek and Roman cultures. But Judaism is also an important culture because Jews have lived in Greece since 300 BC, and made notable contributions to Greco-Roman civilization.

Judaism is an important culture, but not for what you say. Jews living in Greece made no notable contributions to Greco-Roman civilizations.

Whatever of importance the West got from Judaism came through Christianity. Christianity is what MADE Western Civilization. There are multiple elements but Christianity brought them altogether. Judaism could have ceased to exist 1700 years ago and it would have changed absolutely nothing in regard to shaping the Western World. I mean this as no slight of what Judaism can provide. I just realize that, after the rise of Christianity, Judaism had no effect or affect on anything of any real importance until perhaps the mid-late 19th century or early 20th - oddly coinciding with the beginning of the decline of Western Civilization. Or maybe not so “oddly coinciding” at all.
