"When did Judaism begin?"

Most of the world (of course) is non jewish. The family known as jews equate their beginnings to the time of Abraham (around 1900 BCE) with whom Yahweh made a covenant setting Abraham as the Father of Judaism and promising Cannan to his descendants. The 12 tribes come from Jacob (Israel) out of Isaac. However, some specify the covenant between Yahweh and the children of Israel (as Jews see the revelation to Moses in 1029 BCE) as the start of Judaism.

Interestingly, 42% (some say as high as 80%)--of Israeli Jews define themselves as "Secular"! So they are mostly over it... :-)
