    Zionism is flexible, it started out secular but it changed over time to better cater to the audience (religious Zionism).

    These aren’t inherently contradicting because the central theme of zionism is and will always be ethnonationalism + fascism. As long as those aspects remain, zionism can be whatever it needs to be to cater to its audience.

      Agree, i never said zionism is caused solely by religion, i just think that classifying zionist as “atheist” movement is simply not true when it have such significant religious following and motivations. Also “secular” is much better word than “atheist” here.
