A friend forwarded this excellent article to me.

It is common in America, and other Western countries, to use the term “Judeo-Christian” when speaking about culture and morals. This is done for several reasons. It emphasizes the common perception that Christianity was derived from Judaism. The phrase links the two religions together via the Old Testament, which seemingly gives them a common foundation in law and morals. The phrase is beloved of the ecumenical movement, as it implies that both religions, while different, are equally valid. The phrase also works as a way of forming a unified “tribe” against Muslims, and others, who are not part of “Judeo-Christian” civilization. In a hostile world, all of us “Judeo-Christians” have to stick together. We all have the same enemies, and the same friends. Our interests are perfectly aligned. Together, we’re the good guys!

Every bit of what is written above is completely false. The phrase “Judeo-Christian” is a propaganda slogan, not a statement of truth. Rabbinic Judaism, especially when infused with Zionism, is completely incompatible with Orthodox Christianity in all respects – morally, religiously, and culturally. For that matter, the same applies to Christian Zionism, which is even further afield from Orthodoxy than older, more “mainline” Protestants were until their moral collapse.

Read the whole thing. Talmudic Judaism and Christianity are diametrically opposed. Anyone who combines them, ala John Hagee, is a heretic at best.
