    Israelis are Atheists. Zionism is an Atheist movement.

    The father of Zionism Theodor Herzl was an Atheist.

    Israel’s first PM Ben Gurion was a hardcore atheist.

    Israel is a consequence of Liberalism. It is pure Western colonialism nothing more.

      Zionism is an ostensibly secular movement. Secularity is not atheism. Pretext is not motivation.

        No Zionism is very much is an Atheistic movement. It does not define Jewishness as a religion but as a race. And they basically believe Jews are the Ubermensch. This is why early Zionists were booted out of Germany by their religiously Jewish counterparts… Zionism is a classic story of settler-colonialism inspired by European Liberalism.

          I’d like to see a primary source over this, but this opinion gives me something to think about.
