Judaism
Generally speaking, throughout history Judaism hasn't really spread per se. Rather it has survived and grown naturally through childbirth. This is due to the fact that Judaism doesn't proselytize and the number of converts throughout history has been minimal. Keep in mind that during most of history and in most places, converting to Judaism was considered a capital offense, punishable by death or losing all your possessions. Generally speaking most Jews are descendents of Jews. Only in recent years has conversion to Judaism picked up a bit, relatively to previous generations.
Christianity
Christianity has spread through proselytization, movement of Christians to different places in the world, forcible conversion, and debate. Once Christianity became the official religion of Rome, it also wielded political power, leading to many more conversions.
