Christianity grew out of Judaism.

The first Christians were Jews who still practised their Judaism as well as accepting Jesus as Messiah, so that in the early days of the Christian Church it was regarded as a Jewish sect rather than a religion in its own right.

However, as more and more non-Jews were converted, thanks to the evangelism of the apostles (especially Paul) across the Roman Empire, the new religion gradually split from Judaism, and its customs (such as the insistence of male circumcision and the ban on eatng pork) were dropped.
