Religion was the reason the Jews revolted.
Not considered a smart thing, you know. They got uppity after overthrowing the Seleucid rule.

Taxes, colonization, and the defilement of the Temple by Roman soldiers were pretty good reasons to rebel.
Herod Agrippa warned the Romans, but they were bent on supressing Judea.
