Paul and his followers were expelled from the Jewish synagogues in which they had been worshiping alongside orthodox Jews. This came about because they were not following the strict tenets of the Torah and had become embroiled in passionate and acrimonious disputes with the orthodox Jews. At this point the New Judaism became the new religion of Christianity.
