What make it a Ethnic religion?
Judaism is considered to be a Ethnic religion. An Ethnic religion is generally defined by the ethnicity of its adherents, and conversion essentially equates to cultural assimilation into that ethnoreligious group. Judaism is an ethnic religion because of it's diffusion. Although it did diffuse quickly, the reason behind their diffusion is because the Roman Empire forced their movement, rather than diffusing through expansion or choice.
