Usage notes
Not all religions that revere Abraham are considered Abrahamic. The term always covers Christianity, Islam and Judaism, and often includes the Baháʼí Faith. Other faiths descended from these religions, such as Rastafari and Mandaeism, are sometimes not described as Abrahamic even if they consider Abraham holy.Religious Tolerance Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance Meanings of ambiguous terms beginning with the letters "A" to "R" http://www.religioustolerance.org/alt_mean1.htm 2012-06-09 https://web.archive.org/web/20210316212811/https://www.religioustolerance.org/alt_mean1.htm 16 March 2021
