    I am not a historian but my bet would be that it’s ultimately a political question.

    Christianity was the religion of the late and medieval Roman Empire, and later of the western European colonial empires.

    Islam was a religion that became a caliphate and a series of empires afterwards.

    There has never been a Jewish empire, and the Jewish kingdoms (Hellenistic Israel, the Khazar khanate, Beta Israel) have been small, non impetial and relatively short lived.
