Answer 1
Yes it is, although how you would separate one from the other is a mystery.
Answer 2
How you separate one from the other is that not all Jews believe in God. For those that are atheists, Judaism is a culture. For those that do believe in God, it is a religion.

It is a similar case for Buddhists: For those that are atheists, it is a philosophy, but, for those believe in the various Buddhist deities, it is a religion.

Answer 3
Yes.

Judaism is an ethno-religious group. As a result while there are certainly religious beliefs that unite Jews such as monotheism, the Torah's sacredness, and the particular holidays, there are also ethnic components such as societal interactions, common history, and artworks, cuisine, language, and philosophy. All of these ethnic components can easily be called a "culture". Separating them, contrary to Answer 1, is no more difficult than separating modern Greek culture from the Greek Orthodox Church's beliefs.

Why do you call Judaism a culture when it is only a religion?

You are wrong. Jews are described in modern sources as an ethno-religious group which also possesses a certain culture, expressed in cuisine, music, mannerisms etc., that are not necessarily part of the religion itself. So therefore, while Judaism itself is certainly a religion, the Jewish people are also an ethnic group because of shared ancestry, and also have a certain amount of shared culture beyond what Judaism itself mandates.If you meant that Judaism is not only a culture but is mainly a religion, then you're correct (at least from the traditional standpoint).
