A few data points for your reply:

1. I'm a prosciutto-loving atheist Jew and Jews are a nation and a faith. https://medium.com/illumination-curated/our-faithless-founding-fathers-lincoln-bedc7c2270b3

2. Judaism is an ethno-place-based religion that spawned two universalist missionary religions: Christianity and Islam that turned on its parent for not acknowledging that the offspring possessed god's final revelation. Family feuds never end, which I also learned when the Egyptians and the Qataris in the Sheraton Doha spent two weeks arguing over the Arabic translation of the brochures' text.

4. In 1989 I rode to Borobudur in Java on a motorcycle with an Islamic law student I met in a hostel who taught me Bahasa Indonesia while I improved his English. When I asked him about Khomeini and the Iranian theocracy, he replied: "that's not Islam, that's fanaticism."
