True. For example, I, myself, a jew. But, I'm also an atheist.
More then 100 years ago the Judaism stopped with being only a religen, and became a nation as well. A nation like the arabs or the Indians. People can choose to become jews in their religen, but if you were born as a jew (because your parents were jews) then you will always be a jew. In world war II, people who were in their religen a complete Christians, and were raised as Christians, but had 1 jewish grandfather, who recognized by the Nazis as jews and were sent to their death.
