We absolutely are. Defining Judaism as a religion alone is ignorant and christocentric.

Judaism has always been a people of a singular national identity, defined by common origin, language, history, sense of identity, culture, folklore, music, clothing, cuisine, etc.

No. National identity is a relatively modern idea for any group of people. Being Jewish is being part of a culture, not a nation.

The person you're responding to is an ass but you're swinging too far in the opposite direction.
