What is the religion of people in Israel?

Answer 1

Answer 1

In contrast to a number of its neighbors, the present-day nation of Israel doesn't recognize an official state religion, although it was founded primarily as the place where Jews were at last free to live as Jews, and remains so today. The open expression of other religions is common in Israel, and is protected, often by state security forces when such practice is threatened.

If the question is asking about the religion of the people of Israel in history, the answer is that the phrase "Children of Israel" has always been synonymous with, and understood to mean, the people whose national character, goals, and aspirations are shaped by Judaism. In other words, they are the Jewish people.

Zionism is not a religion. It is the political and nationalist movement of those who seek to re-establish the recognized home of the Jewish people in the geographic region of ancient Israel, where there has been a continuous Jewish presence since shortly after the Exodus from Egypt, including the 2000 years since their nationhood was brought down by the Romans.

Answer 2

The primary religion in Israel is Judaism. However, Israel recognizes the other religions followed by its citizens including Islam, Christianity, Ba'hai, etc.

Israel has no official state religion, and there is no religious requirement, test, or qualification for such privileges as school admission, business or home ownership, voting, election to public office, or practice of law before the courts.

In early 2012, the breakdown of the country's population was listed as 75.3% Jewish, 20.6% Muslim, and the remaining 4.3% comprising Christian, Druze, Baha'i, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist, Other, Unspecified, and None of the above.
The nation of Israel is predominantly Jewish, although Christian and Muslim Israelis are accorded full civil rights.

Roughly 75% of Israel's population are Jews. The country has no 'official' religion,

and there is no religious requirement for citizenship, voting rights, land ownership,

public education, medical benefits, or public office (including the national parliament).

Answer 3

The Jews are an ethnic group defined by their religion. The religion of Jews is Judaism.

However, in Israel and many western countries, there are increasing numbers of people who identify as Jews but who do not practice Judaism. They are called Secular Jews and many would dispute the proposal that Jews are defined by their religion.

Answer 4

About 75% of the Population is Jewish. Most of the remaining minority are Muslims. Christians, Baha'i and many othe religions have a small presence in Israel.

All religions are practiced in Israel. There is no religious qualification or 'test' for

citizenship, business ownership, land ownership, education, professional practice,

voting, or elected office. By the numbers among the population, the most numerous

are Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
