Jesus was 100% Jewish circa year zero. Observed Torah, went to and taught at synagogues, celebrated Hannukkah, ate a kosher diet, etc. But Christians don't follow Jesus's own religious practices.

I don't know too much abut religion, but I thought Jesus was supposed to have bashed up the temples due to them operating like banks. I think that'd be evidence of crticising some the prevailing religious organisation.

    IIRC it was other people abusing temples to set up markets there, he didn't have problems with the church itself.

    It was moreso about them selling the sacrifices. The idea was you couldn't bring your own sacrifice, you'd have to buy one there.
