I think that Jewish in this case would be considered a race which is passed down through the mother. Being Jewish can be more than a religion. Jews are also a race of people. I may be wrong and I am sure there will be people who will jump to correct me but I think that if you convert to the Jewish faith, it is believed that you actually become of the Jewish race.
