A more proper analogy is calling Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists,
Anglicans,
Presbyterians, Baptists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists,
Eastern Orthodox people etc. as Christians.

Or you could say that calling Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism etc. as
Indianism is like calling Christianity, Judaism and Islam as Jordanism.

Otherwise you are comparing apples to oranges.
