This made me look up the term secular in context to Judaism. How did I not know that until now?

For those that don't know, being Jewish is the only ethnicity in the world that also refers to religion and (though no longer used due to antisemitic usage) national identities. Secular Jews are quite common

I just looked this up. The idea is called an ethnic religion, where a religion is closely tied to an ethnicity as opposed to universal religions like Christianity or Islam. It's far from the only one, but it is the one that has the most mind share, at least in the West.
