I am not concerned what "Jew" supposed to be, please save me the lecture... I know its complicated. That is not the point of this inquiry. I am only concerned at what Jew supposed to be on [[Category:Jews]]. I do not understand the inclusion criteria and there is no explanation.
Categories should have one and only one purpose: a reliable navigation aid. So what is [[Category:Jew]] supposed to cover? Ethnicity? Religion? Race? Type here? It cannot be all/some of the above. Maybe a [[Category:Jew]] and seperate [[Category:Jewish people]] could be considered.
I'd like to add that I was unaware that we were categorizing people by religion... It feels kinda redundant... Everybody has a religion and it can be just as easily mentioned in the article... Why need the category?

It's not an ethnicity; it's a religion.
