What is the religion of Israel now?

Israel is a Secular Country and, as a result, has no official religion. However, since Judaism is predominant religion professed by Israelis, Judaism has a pull on governmental affairs. This is no different than how the United States is a Secular Country with no official religion, but Christianity has a pull on government affairs since most Americans profess Christianity. It is a common misconception that because Israel is the Jewish State that the official religion is Judaism. This is a misunderstanding of the term "Jewish" in Jewish State. In this case it refers to Jewish as an ethnic term, so Israel is the Jewish State in the same way that Turkey is the Turkish Republic, as opposed to the way that Iran is the Islamic Republic. In terms of which religions have a presence in Israel, in descending order of population, there are communities of Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Baha'i, and other minor faiths. Israel also has sizable minorities of Agnostics and Atheists.

Never again did the Jews exclusively live in Israel.
