It was mostly by Jabotinsky who pushed Zionist Revisionism as a way to increase the amount of colonists that it turned into the weird incoherent mix of religious and Atheist Jews that you see today. And the Israeli-British pogroms committed around the Middle East to push Jews to go to Israel.
What a ridiculous statement. Being founded by an atheist (if Herzl even actually was one - he was clearly non-religious, but many non-religious people are not atheists) is quite different than being caused by atheism.
That’s true my choice of words here was not entirely correct. It should have been “Atheists 100% caused Zionism.” That might explain where the confusion comes from.
Atheism 100% caused Zionism. It was 0% religious Judaism 100% Atheism. As you can read the German Jews fully opposed Zionism in its early days.
The most influential ideology for early Zionism was Socialism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Zionism
