make the cut

Lesson 12 (Humility)から引用します。

Israelis often use the term 'the three great religions', thinking that these religions are Christianity (2.3 billion adherents), Islam (1.8 billion) and Jadaism (15 million). Hinduism, with its billon believers, and Buddhism, with its 500 million followers - not to mention the Shinto religion (50 million) and the Sikh religion (25 million) - don't make the cut. This warped concept of 'the three great religions' often implies in the minds of Israelis that all major religions and ethical traditions emerged out of the womb of Judaism, which was the first religion to preach universal ethical rules.
