Judaism is primarily an ethnic religion, meaning that most of its followers are descended from one tribe or ethnic group. As a result, at some point before 2,000 years ago, the overwhelming majority of the Kingdom of Judah practiced Judaism and the overwhelming majority of today's Jews are the descendants of that original population. There were some converts over the generations, but they make up a much smaller portion of today's Jews.
