To understand some of the background, I recommend these books: Jesus in the Talmud by Peter Schafer, Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years by Israel Shahak, The Invention of the Jewish People by Shlomo Sand.

That is why I am convinced that any society that aspires to be modern and avoid conflict should start by insisting on separating state from religion.
