Judaism is a religion, isn't it? Can't one convert to Judaism, and/or leave it?
"non-practising" jews, converts, etc?

That sounds like a choice thing to me - not a race.

For all my rather charming and conceited flippancy, it's important to delineate types of bigotry and not to over-use calls of it - something Sasha Baron Cohen highlighted with the Ali G character.

Inappropriate cries of "racism" and "is it because I is ... " lead to a "cry wolf" syndrome where such calls become background noise and increasingly ignored.

It's for this reason that people who make unfounded accusations are punished.

It's possible to join, but it's usually because the convert in question is marrying a Jew
Generally you're either born into it or you're not - non-practising Jews are people who are born into it but are essentially atheists

It's a murky area, but I'd say Jews are more of a "race" than Islams or Xians are
