Judaism wasn't even a word until about 400 AD.
They didn't call their religion "jewish". The only association between "jew" and their religion was that they were living in the province of Judea. And they weren't called jews, they were Judeans -- inhabitants of the province of Judea.
Paul/Saul literally writes "I am a jew" and "I am a pure-blood descendant from Benjamin." The only way these statements can be true at the same time is if "jew" in his language did NOT mean he was descended from Judah. WHICH IS WHAT IT SAYS IN GREEK -- "JUDEAN" **not** "jew".
As far as the name of their religion -- they would use Moses' name or God's name to describe it. Judah had NOTHING to do with it.

> And they weren't called jews, they were Judeans
And they still did it not a long time ago. "Judea declares war on Germany" was when, 1933? Everybody that Judea is about jews.
Also the key to understand jews (as we know them) is that they are proficient shapeshifters and they utter the words that make people give them what they want.
And the Judahites were only one of the 13 tribes and didn't have the blessing of Abraham. Jacob had skipped a generation and passed it on to Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, and their tribes had been carried off after the Assyrians conquered Israel. Judah and tiny bits of the other tribes were just what was left behind, but they didn't let that stop them from claiming to be the chosen.
