True, but assimilation, birthrates, and aggressive outreach by stricter Jewish groups all mean a change is coming sooner rather than later.
The future of Judaism likely belongs to either the Modern Orthodox or the Hasidim, with a larger community of Jewish people who are partially observant and affirm Scriptural standards of what it means to be Jewish even if they do not necessarily follow those standards.
The sooner that liberal Jews stop calling themselves Jews, the better things will be. Liberal Jews are giving their faith a very bad name, and have been doing so far too long.
One of the more galling examples of recent memory was the Jewish Anti-Defamation League's participation in the lawsuit to remove the Ten Commandments statue from the Alabama courthouse that had been placed by Judge Roy Moore. It boggles the mind.
Well, the word “Jew” does refer to an ethnicity also, but in this context it’s supposed to be the religion, in which the Jewishness of the liberals is quite absent. And I can’t agree that the future belongs to the religious minority, which is being sidelined by the liberal majority.
The sooner that liberal Jews stop calling themselves Jews, the better things will be.

How uncharacteristically intolerant and non diversity appreciative of you?
If I made such a statement about liberal blacks you would call me a neoconfederate bigot as is your wont
For the record
No matter how infuriating I find Jewish liberals and their incessant activism
They damn well have the right to be considered Jewish if they like even if non observant...its their DNA
If observance is the criteria then about half those who call themselves Christians should quit being called Christian too while you're at it
