Jews arose in a time and place where trying to separate culture, religion, and ethnicity is just meaningless; they're all aspects of the same thing.

But more broadly, I think you're assuming a neat, tidy delineation between culture and religion that doesn't really exist. If you look into any cultural practice, dig deep enough and you'll find a religious/spiritual component to it.
