Jews and the old testament

No one asks Jews what they think of the old testament. It's THEIR book (Tanakh).

I think the most obvious answer is that there is a Christian majority (at least in America) whereas there are hardly any Jews anywhere except Israel. If Jews were the majority, things might be different.

(Bolding mine)
Yeah, even atheists outnumber them.
