Sure, if you look at Judaism historically or geographically, you have a point.  But if you look at it in terms of meaning and interpretation, I think it's closer to Taoism or Buddhism than it is to Christianity or Islam.

That's a long discussion I'm not sure if anyone is interested in having--but I seriously doubt that Judaism is about going through many motions in an empty way.  Nor is it about interpreting language and scriptures in ways similar to Christianity or Islam.  And I believe this is evident in the Talmud.

But there is no shortage of folks who would disagree with these assertions.
