Jews! (punk, reggae, Religious, cover, quote)

[lucifer_sam]

i was wondering this for a while. is Judaism a faith (read: religion) or just a subculture people ascribe to?

i was always instructed growing up that it was strictly a religious choice, but now that i'm growing older i notice more and more people that view themselves as Jewish (in the same way that 'Christians' do) but don't necessarily view it as a spiritual matter. i'm not saying either is right or wrong, but i just don't understand what the definition of "Jewish" is anymore.
