Furthermore, I'm an atheist, and that sounds like a load of shit to me. Clearly there are different characteristics in different religions; some are supremacist, others are not.
But if you do respond again, you'll still dodge the question and argue about religion in general instead of specifically about individual people who think they are, literally, part of "God's chosen people," and are perfectly willing say it to your face.
What qualifies a religion as 'supremacist'? The whole point of religion is that you have something that others don't have. Catholics say that outside the church, there is no salvation. Calvinists call themselves 'the Elect', or at least hope that they're part of that group.
And Jews believe that they were chosen by God to reveal himself to the world. It beats me why God would decide to pick a barbaric Bronze Age tribe for his revelation, but that's just me. Generally, aside from a few whackjob rabbis, they don't believe this makes them better than anyone. Indeed, they are in a worse position because, in their believe, we have to obey only the laws of Noah, while they have to follow all the laws of Moses and the thousands of rules that rabbis added to it.
Judaism is an ethnoreligion and many Jews believe their people are superior by ancestry regardless of what they believe. That's why they're supremacist.
That didn't answer my question.

Called it.
Did you just use the claim of "you dodged the question" to dodge an entire comment?
