No, the broader term would include both religious Jews and people who are Jewish through matrilineal descent but don't believe in the Jewish faith. An all inclusive term (Hebrew perhaps?), and then a term that refers specifically to the religious.
ahhhh....ok
Well you do know that we are not just a religion but we are connected as a people too. So to have different names for Jews wouldn't work very well.
Although the highlight of our community activities are the holidays and the rituals.

Well as long as Judaism is inherited through the mother our Jewishness is inherited. The others are Jews by choice and they are just as Jewish as born Jews. I am a Jew by choice and so is my daughter her children will be born Jewish.
