Yeah, but you're still considering Asia to be 'east' in that regard, which is still a Eurocentric connotation. I'm not saying those religions aren't Western religions geographically, but if you're grouping religions by geography, rather than by central tenants, you're going to end up with beliefs being grouped together that have virtually no commonalities, such as Abrahamic religions and Dharmic religions. Which is why both the terms 'Western' and 'Eastern' are ludicrous to use, but it doesn't change the fact that Abrahamism and Dharmism share no central beliefs which would lead one to reasonably consider them part of the same grouping as opposed to any of the other 'Western' religions you listed.
