the author of this article makes a firm, if not inarguable, distinction between fantasy and science fiction. The lines have blurred in much recent writing

That's a topic that interests me. Would you (and others) define Ray Bradbury, for instance, as a science-fiction author?

Also, how is "Jewish" defined? Would secular Jews be counted along with religiously observant Jews?

I would describe what I’ve read of Ray Bradbury’s as science fiction, rather than fantasy. How the author would identify “Jewish,” I do not know, but a case might be made that there’s a Jewish cultural mindset, irrespective of religious belief, that could affect approaches to literature.
