The piece you cited deals with, as noted, circumstances within the State of Israel. Are you asking specifically about the State of Israel or are you attempting to cast a wider net?
In a wider sense, let me quote these words from my friend Levite - "Objectively, I say that Judaism is a socioreligious ethnicity, representing a semi-permeable society organized around common cultural and religious national heritage. It is of interest as one of the oldest extant Mideastern/European cultures and religious traditions, and as the ancestor/root religion of the two other major Western faiths, and perhaps also as an interesting historical mix of frequently persecuted and frequently successful as a culture.
Subjectively, as a Jew, I say that Judaism is my people's eternal covenant with the Creator of all things, our evolving dialogue about holiness with the Source of everything. I say that observance of the mitzvot (commandments) is not just my duty to God, but a way to create meaning in my life, a spiritual discipline to help raise my awareness and connect with God. I also regard the Jewish tradition as my inheritance, something wonderful I have inherited from my ancestors, that makes me a link in an unbroken chain that extends back for thousands of years, and, I hope infinitely far into the future."
