Eh?
Branches of Judaism include Rabinic, Sephardim, Ashkenazim, Kabbala, Hasidism, Haskala, Orthodix, Reform, Conserative, Zionism, Sephardim, Orthodox, Messianic.
Branches of Buddhism include Mahayana, Theravada and Vajrayana. PLUS Buddhism has incorporated Taoism and Confucianism to form the Chinese religion.
Speaking about a "Methodist Jewish sect" is simply bizzarre. If they were Methodist Jews they would be Christian.... (Messianic Jews accept the messiah)
