It's not a religion. A religion is a belief structure and you obviously think it's true otherwise you wouldn't believe in it, and you encourage people to join. Aka Catholicism, Islam, Mormonism, even Scientology. Jews do the opposite. If you are a non jew and attempt to join a synagogue, they'll dismiss you. There's some thing about you have to ask three times to be a Jew before they admit you. The whole process is to make it deliberately difficult so you don't join. Does that sound like a religion to you? Or more like a members only club? And "you're Jewish" if your mom is. Huh? No one is Catholic by birth. The opposite. They have to get baptized and go to catechism, confirmation, etc. Bud Jewishness is a bloodline. Think, people. Think. Something something, George Carlin, big club, you ain't in it.
