Answer 1

No. Christianity and Islam are not examples of ethnic religions Judaism is an example of an ethnic religion. It is impossible to be a Jew without being a Jew. But many people belong to Christianity or Islam who are from the Philippines, Swaziland, India, England, etc. There are numerous ethnicities within Christianity and Islam. But for the most part, there are very few converts to Judaism. Only Jews can be Jews, for the most part.

Answer 2

No. Neither Christianity nor Islam are considered an ethno-religious group. Such groups have certain elements that are common to all ethnicities, such as a common language, a common ancestry, particular customs of association, and a view of common historic nation-hood. It also has certain elements that other religions share such as a belief in divine beings and a God, specific divine mandates, houses of worship, and holy scriptures. Prominent ethno-religious groups include the Jews, the Copts, the Druze, and the Yazidi.

While Christianity and Islam are certainly religions, they do not have common ethnicities since they stretch entire continents and have innumerable ethnicities that follow their tenets.
