    You’re not calling Judaism a major religion are you?

    Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, have billions of followers each. Judaism has a few million.

      It has influence disproportionate to the number of followers. (But Hinduism and Buddhism should be ahead of it anyway, this is a very Western perspective)

          Most Jews in Israel are Atheists. That’s not even close to correct.

          Most surveys suggest that roughly 15-25% of Jewish Israelis do not believe in God or describe themselves as atheists or convinced non‑believers, depending on wording and methodology.

            Zionism is the abandonment of the Torah by saying the Messiah will lead the Jews to the promises land and instead doing it themselves.

            “God” for Israelis means “Jewish people”. They are their own God.

              One person VS. Multiple Surveys regarding the original claim that “most” are not religious.
