And that goes not just for judadism btw. Yet they are accepted by one another and all (not withstanding middle class pseuds who are also pickled blowhards) as "us". Ergo, we are not talking about religion at all, but something else. Gumilev calls it ethnos which sounds good enough to me. The question you are unable to ask presumably owing to your personal enslavement by dogma and resulatant logic chopping, starting with the concept that you pull out a hat, alakazam!; based ... the question you're unable to ask, is what is this actual, natural, non-conceptual, not imaginary thing. Never mind you. I gave a good link above for anyone with actual passion.
