Best Answer

Judaism is an ethnic religion. Christianity and Islam do not claim to be ethnic.

  • Answer 2
Today, the term ethno-religious group is often used to describe the Jewish people. Jews have certain elements that are common to all ethnicities, such as a common language, particular customs of association, a shared history, and a common ancestry. Jews are descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their wives, from the Hebrews of the Fertile Crescent. Despite their diversity, Jews are related to each other (as has been demonstrated by DNA analyses of far-flung Jewish communities).

At the same time, Judaism is a religion, because it's defined in dictionaries as the religion of Moses; the religion of the Torah, which includes people born Jewish as well as non-ethnic Jews (converts).

It is worth noting that the term "ethno-religious group" is not unique to Jews; it just happens that Jews are more widely known than other such groups, which include the Yezidi, Druze, Maronites, and Yarsan.

In classical Jewish sources such as the Torah, the Israelites are spoken of as a nation (with shared ancestry), with Judaism being the national code of living.
