The chosen people, without a doubt. I came to belief in God because of physics, then had to make a determination what to believe. I believe that God is unknowable, yet we have a personal relation with God. I think that to God we are all equal, yet when it comes to religion, and history, the Jews definitely stand out as chosen. Either they control religion by a conspiracy, or God did it.
Regardless, they must have whatever they choose, otherwise you will have war. Consider that most wars have had a religious component, then think of how Judaism is the foundation of both Islam and Christianity. If religion is how you control people, then Judaism is how you control religion.
