Note also the misspelled 1847 cite I posted here last November:

1847 _Harbinger_ 16 Jan. 88/2 A unitary religion, embodying the Judeao-Christian
[sic] doctrine of Universal Love, shines, the torch-bearer of humanity, far in
advance of its actual institutions.

And this earlier nominal usage, where "Judeo-Christian" =
'quasi-Jewish quasi-Christian person':

1841 _Christian Observer_ 8 Oct. 164/3 Until more satisfactory proofs be adduced
to the contrary, we may, however, call the Frankists Judeo-Christians.
