>Are there muslims and jews that don't circumcise/mutilate their children? Are they still muslims and jews? If you say yes, the it's not a religious tenet, but a cultural tradition.

There's no difference between the two. You can break any religious tenet and still belong to the particular religion/faith.

Heck, you can murder people and still be considered a christian saint for example.

Sure it is. One is within the tenets, one is: maybe, despite the tenets.

You are a [religion]:ian because you follow the tenets, and you can be a [religion]:ian by reforming, despite breaking tenets.

Nazis are not and have never been violent in opposition to their core beliefs, but completely in line with them.
