I don't celebrate Christmas and I think you'll find that outside of the US where Christianity is practically a state religion, few people of other religions do.
:
Sect
A group of people forming a distinct unit within a larger group by virtue of certain refinements or distinctions of belief or practice.
A religious body, especially one that has separated from a larger denomination.

A faction united by common interests or beliefs.
You've bolded the wrong words here. You should have bolded "within a larger group" because Christianity is NOT within Judaism and has not been for the last 1900 years. And the two religions are certainly not united by common interests of beliefs, even though they may share some holy texts.

In addition, I was not referring to Messianic Jews as they classify themselves as being Jewish (whilst other Jewish people classify them as being Christian). The group I was talking about call themselves Judeo-Christian and classify themselves as being Christian.
