No I am not confused.
"Jew" is a description of one sect of a population. Just like "Christian" is one sect of a population, and even within both you have sub sects of those populations.
If you can accept that America's laws are based on freedom of religion, and not taken out of the bible, then you can accept that it is not a good idea to insert the language of one sect of a population into that law. You simply stop at "freedom of religion" without naming a particular group.
Consider the lack of naming a particular group like an anti monopoly law. Such anti monopoly concepts do not include or exclude participation because the language is neutral.
