Both Christianity and Judaism come from the same roots. Both religions are a development from the teachings of the Tanakh/ Old Testament.

Jesus can be considered to be a Jewish rabbi, whose teachings were so radical that they divided the Israelite nation. This division became firmly fixed soon after the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in AD 70.

At that point, those who accepted Jesus implicit claim to be the Messiah (the Christ) came to be definitively separated from those who rejected this claim.

As a result, Christians went their own way, and Judaism, which was not a unitary system at that point, become united under the leadership of those who belonged to the Jewish party of the Pharisees.

So Christianity differs from Judaism on the ground of their respective attitudes to Jesus. Those who follow Judaism do not explicitly follow Jesus' teachings, although on many issues Jews and Christians agree, reflecting their shared holy texts.

Are Judaism and Christianity the same only Christianity is a more evolved form?

OpinionNo, Christianity is not a more evolved form of religion - just different. The concept of the evolution of religion suggests that polytheism evolved to monotheism. Arguably, Christianity is less monotheistic than is Judaism, thus going backwards according to the theory of religious evolution. Then again, the most evolved worldview is atheism, and Christianity is not there yet.
