Judaism is a religion, a culture, and an ethnicity; it’s a belief system, a tradition, and a bloodline. In one way or another, it can be all those things. Every Jew Jews differently. My dad was a full-on atheist, and he was just as Jewish as the most observant Jew you can find. One is equally Jewish whether they are a devout practitioner of the faith or if they’re a part-timer for the High Holidays. It’s also safe to say that the Jewish community as a whole is a mishmash.
