Well, except that Judaism itself was an amalgamation of some disparate faiths as well.

Calling it the “Ur-faith” is especially confusing given that Ur was Sumerian, and predates Judaism— as does their religion.

“Ur-” as a prefix, is commonly used to dsesignate the original or foundational member in a series or set.

I am not suggesting that Judaism was the faith of Ur of the Chaldees - although one man from there did play a large role in its history.

Judaism is an amalgamation of disparate faiths? Not according to Christianity or Islam, and so, for the purposes of the current discussion, largely irrelevant, even if true.
