Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all ‘People of the Book’. Hindus scriptural texts are the Vedas.

Abrahamic faiths are monotheistic and against idol worship. While not all Hindus worship idols and multiple gods, these practices are not blasphemy or apostasy.

There is a binary criteria amongst Abrahamic religions about what constitutes membership.
