No Zionism is very much is an Atheistic movement. It does not define Jewishness as a religion but as a race. And they basically believe Jews are the Ubermensch. This is why early Zionists were booted out of Germany by their religiously Jewish counterparts… Zionism is a classic story of settler-colonialism inspired by European Liberalism.
