Sammy Davis Jr converted to Judaism. I am sure there are Jews who are atheists. It can be either or both as I see it.

@dan325 That was my thinking.

If rituals, conventional customs, religion etc are confined to a large number of people for hundreds of year it becomes as ethnicity.

Jews or Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group and a nation, originating from the Israelites and Hebrews of historical Israel and Judah. Jewish ethnicity, nationhood, and religion are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is is the ethnic religion of the Jewish people,

Will a person who is not originally jew and converts to Judaism face discrimination if he or she move to Israel?

@Noor92 I have no idea....but would imagine they would be welcomed. Converts are usually embraced in most other religions...not so sure about Judaism.
