Judaism reveres the Books of the Law, the modern version of which was put together in historical times from more ancient sources. The Jewish sacred texts are believed to be a precise (logical?) blueprint for creation, and analysis of them gives magical powers. Judaism is monotheistic, has a complex angelology and does not have an accessible 'land of the dead' (Christian visions of heaven are based on Graeco-Roman mythology). The points of similarity with Malkionism are profound.
Me:
Why not make them "muslims" then? All the western talk about the prophet Malkion makes me think of Muhammed. To be quite fair, I don't know how much of what you wrote above goes for islam as well.
