Is Christianity a semetic religion culturally? It had semetic roots but it's evolved alongside European culture for hundreds of years. Are people who practice Christianity culturally semites? What are the differences between collective European and Semetic religious views? How does Christianity differ between those two collective cultural groups?

It's a Hellenic religion that incorporated large swathes of Neo-Platonism. Catholics are still conducting their services in a pagan tongue.

This. It has Semitic elements of well. I'd call it a mediterranean religion. Which makes sense considing it formed in a mediterranean empire.

This is more eurocentric bullshit. There is more than one form of Christianity. Of course European Christianity has European cultural elements. What about the copts are Iranian Christians or Israeli Christians or any of the other Myriad forms of Christianity?
The world, especially with spiritual one, does not revolve around fucking Europe.

Most Christians are Catholic. Followed by Protestant (which is an outgrowth of Catholicism). Plus all the Greek Orthodox (European as well). The outliers don't need recognition unless they are relevant. I'n this case they aren't.

It started as a Jewish cult but in the context of the Hellenistic Roman world. It grew to become quintessentially European.

like it or not, the world does revolve around Europe. thats just how it is. Christianity came from Rome which is the cultural predecessor to European civilization.

OP is clearly using Christianity as shorthand for "Catholicism", "Protestantism" and maybe "Orthodoxy". As in the European denominations that are relevant on the world stage. Reality is eurocentric, get over it.
ROMAN Catholicism is a more European than it is Semitic. Protestantism is more Semitic than it is European.

What is "jewish" about Protestantism?
