Depends on if you consider "jewish" to be a race or not. Ive had several tell me it is, not that I buy it.

Isn't Jewish ethnicity a separate thing from being religiously Jewish?

It's complicated. I say that Judaism is an ethnoreligion. There is an ethnic factor and a religion factor when it comes to analyzing Jewishness.

I am ethnically Jewish and also believe in Judaism as a religion, despite not being religious.

By Orthodox Jewish law, a mother has to be ethnically Jewish for their children to be Jewish by ethnicity and religion.

One can convert to Judaism as a religion, which than also makes them apart of the Jewish peoplehood as a whole, even though they weren't born Jewish ethnically.
