Dont use antivaxer logic.
Religion is history.
Its not fiction.
if you look at all the rules in the torah, they are more akin to keeping you culturally Jewish, than they are keeping you free from any kind of sin.
The first 5 commandments are a moral contract to god, the second 5 are literally how to run an economy. It's a constitution. A bill of rights. I mean he brought it down from the mountain, after he was sick of watching his people dance and screw on stage while drinking cows blood lol his "people" needed a goverment, and in the wildlands in a kingdom with no army, 10,000 years ago, the way to do that is with religion.
for those that hate religion, ask yourself, what is it you hate? I bet the answer is something like: It's not complete information or outright lies, it forces people to do horrible things, and is ignorant of science and the truth.
That's just goverment lol
If you hate religion, you dont hate religion, you hate MAN... you're just using religion as a scapegoat.
Religion is nationalism, without a nation.
It's just politics and culture.
But it is not fiction any more than democrat and republican is.
They all shoot bolts of death from the clouds at the innocent.

Technically, it's not really about keeping one "Culturally Jewish" because first you have to define "Jewishness" which isn't a monolith.
No one is going to argue that Essenes weren't "Jews" because all of the documentation outlining the cultural identity of the Essenes defines them as "Jewish", yet, the ideological disposition of the Essenes, is inherently different than that of the Pharisees (Levitical Priests), which, again, was entirely different than the ideological disposition of the Saducees (the agnostic branch of their Judicial system, which didn't believe in the metaphysical at all).
So, one cannot simply say "Jewishness" is a monolithic cultural construct, as what defines "Jewishness" to the outside observer varies based on which subdivision one looks at.
