Nope, not a religious liberal, far from it.
You obviously don't accept Deuteronomy's assertion that the borders and numbers of the nations are decided based on the numbers of the Children of Israel, and apparently because "the author of Deuteronomy" was a primitive who didn't know about China or South America.
Whereas of course the author of the Torah is G-d (not even Moses, much less JEPD) and this bit of information about the connection between Israel and the Nations is a very mystical truth.
