Not arguing that but that's every secular jew in the country. The amount that actually practice versus the amount that just claim it as a race is very low vs high.

Judaism is an ethnicity as well as a religion.  And it's intertwined, because the prominent interpretation today is it comes down through your mother's line.  Loomer's only Jewish ancestors are on her father's side. 
If you can't trace your mother's line as Jewish, you're supposed to go through a conversion ceremony with the temple or synagogue you're trying to join. Loomer did not do this.
