There's such a thing as an "ethnoreligious group", even if a lot of Jews are practicing their cultural history is entwined in a religious tradition. Even totally atheist Jews usually observe some religious practices for cultural reasons.

Yes I agree with you on that. I should have been clearer when I commented on it. I'm an atheist and I still have some traditions that I follow like Christmas and Easter but without the Christianity.

I did reply earlier which more or less clarifies the point I'm trying to make here: https://hexbear.net/comment/4360621

Yeah but most of those subgroups of Jewish people can usually trace their lineage back at least somewhat reliably to the Jewish diaspora.

Also most sects of Judaism aren't evangelical and don't actively seek out new adherents, only practicing within the bounds of their own community even if they do occasionally accept converts (and most converts are people who marry into the faith). Christianity isn't consider ethnoreligious cuz Christianity actively went out and sought new adherents in a variety of cultures.

No, I get that, but that's the thing, they spread out and adopted their own take on Judaism like the Sephradic Jews took Spanish and Latin words in their Hebrew language.
