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.

Judaism may be the most common religion in Israel and Israel may be the Jewish State, but Judaism has no official legal status in Israel that is in any way superior to that of other religions.

Are you sure Israel's religion is polytheistic?

Answer 1Answering very carefully, I come up with this:-- If you're talking about the modern state of Israel, then "Israel's" religion ... that is, the religion of the nation ... is totally polytheistic, simply because that nation has no official religion. Everyone is free to practice the religion of their choice, or to practice no religion, and the laws of modern Israel prohibit religious discrimination.-- If you're talking about the people of Israel in history, then I'm sure that their religion is notpolytheistic. One thing that virtually everyone agrees on is that Judaism introduced monotheism into a polytheistic world.Answer 2The simple answer as concerns Ancient Israel is "No" and the simple answer as concerns modern Israel is "Not Applicable".The commonly explained view is that Judaism was the first religion to promote monotheism. However, there is a scholarly debate as to when this monotheistic view began. Most Jews and other Monotheists hold that the Israelites were consistently monotheistic while scholars usually say that this was a development later in history with the Israelites starting as polytheists and henotheists before becoming monotheistic.The modern State of Israel has no state religion which makes it impossible to say whether it is atheist, monotheist, henotheist, or polytheist. The state literally has no opinion on the matter. The majority of Israel's citizens today are monotheists or atheists, but this has no bearing on what the state professes. This is similar to the United States.

What religions began in Israel?

Ancient Israel was a theocratic kingdom and so the predominant religion and the religion of the state was the religion of the Israelites. It is often considered to be Judaism although modern Orthodox Judaism is different from this religion because the debates and discussions of the Talmud and subsequent works had not yet been written. There were probably minorities of Canaanite Polytheists, Egyptian Polytheists, and Hellenic Polytheists in and around the Ancient Kingdoms of Israel.
