Why are two religions not ‘isms’

While Neopaganism and Polytheistic Reconstructionism are both -isms, and some of the many religions within its umbrella are too, just as many aren't.
e.g.:
Druidry (though this is called Druidism just as often)
Wicca (though some of its subsets, i.e. Gardnerianism are -isms)
Asatru
Heathenry
Religio Romana
Romuva
Rodnovery

wicca>wiccan>wiccanism ?
 
Ok I have ism as meaning
“ a doctrine; a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school”

I think I am really asking is there a reason that western (colonial) language does not consider Islam and Christianity worthy of an “ism” under this definition?
