Why do some people treat Judaism as a race?

[JSmooth]

My grandmother is jewish, and my mother is jewish, and I'm an atheist. But they both say that I'm jewish, even though I've told them that I'm atheist several times. They think it's a race. Why do people think that Judaism is a race? You can choose to be jewish or not! Thanks!

Judaism is a religion! Plus my mom is adopted, and she comes from a non-jewish family. So even if it was a race, I wouldn't be jewish at all! But because my mom thinks that it's a race, apparently I'm jewish, which I'm not. WTF!

There is a Jewish race and a Jewish religion
