It changed a lot. For example nowadays there are Jews that say that they are Jews but the don't have Judaism as their religion and they don't believe in the Talmud Torah. Some people think that this process started when the day in which the leaders of Talmud Torah, the Portuguese Jewish Community of Amsterdam excommunicated 24-year philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677). Baruch Spinoza denied almost every major tenet of traditional Jewish belief, including that God created and controls the world, that God makes ethical demands on us, that the Torah is the revelation of God's will, and that Jews are God's chosen people. He also dared to criticize religion-all religion-for propagating untruths and fostering dogma and superstitions that had led to great evils perpetrated in the name of God.
