@purronronner is completely right
if it is your view that antisemitism is inherent to the christian bible, do you believe that it is possible for religious christians and jewish people to peacefully coexist?
It is absolutely possible for Christians and Jews to coexist, as long as:
-Christians reject supercessionism. Supercessionism, the belief that Christianity is the "progression" of Judaism and that Judaism is just less-evolved Christianity, is inherently antisemitic. Rejecting that belief is integral to not being an antisemitic Christian.
-Christians stop believing that anyone who isn't Christian needs to be "saved", and stop trying to convert non-Christians.
-Christians stop appropriating Judaism and closed Jewish practices.
-Christians stop trying to speak for Jews and Judaism.
-Christians recognize the history of Christian antisemitism.
-Christians associate with and care for Jews not because "Jesus was Jewish" but because we are people deserving of humanity.
There are many religious Christians that coexist with Jews. In the community where my family lives, many religious Catholics and Quakers work at the Jewish schools there and there's a lot of solidarity. My father's stepfather is a religious Protestant Christian and he's an incredible grandfather and ally. It's absolutely possible if the work is done.
