Religion is so uplifting.

You left out Zionism.

Strange, huh?

Zionism isn't a religion.

Neither is "ISIS, Taliban or Al-Qaida"

Zionism has no requirements that its acolytes adhere to any form of
Judaism. The three groups you mentioned are fundamentalist Muslim
religious organizations, and all three engage in forced adherence to an
interpretation of the Koran and all three pursue forced religious
conversions. There are significant numbers of Jews in Israel and
elsewhere who are revisionist Zionists and have no religious affilition,
other than being born in a family in which the mother was Jewish.

A distinction without a difference

Absurd.

Are you going to say Israel is not a religious state?

How many Muslims, or even Christians are in any actual position of
authority?
Most can't even vote.

The question was not whether Israel was a religious state. The question
was whether Zionism was a religion. It is not. The distinction is
significant.

Perhaps if you had taken some liberal arts classes sometime in your
life, you would have fewer problems with semantics and etymology.
