Judaism, Islam and Christianity both objectify and fetish the body, using it to express religious devotion and sexual distaste or control. They clothe or expose, grow hair on it, take hair off it,
according to religious fads. Each is accordingly obsessed with sex.
There is similarly a fetishing of the family. In Judaism and Islam it is particularly marked and goes hand in hand with a fierce hatred of homosexuality. These religions are exclusive not inclusive. In Islam difference and breaking of taboos can be met with death! While this was the case with Christianity it was rarely at similar intensity to that of the other two societies.
