"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.
"Christian" is a religious term, but "Jew" has a double meaning just like the word "light" can mean light/dark or light/heavy. So depending on the context, "Jew" can mean one that follows the Judaic law (religious), or one that is Jewish like in being French, German, etc.
