Have you ever wondered why there are so few ex-Jews, for instance? You often hear about ex-Muslims, ex-Christians, but very few individuals who have abandoned Judaism. That's because of its highly insular nature and tendency to keep its members in-line.
And because converting to Christianity would mean leaving said group, which at its core is just a money-making operation. Any race/ethnicity that's predicated on one's religions beliefs isn't much of a race to begin with.
Which is why the Talmud and the Rabbinic class exists, to keep people from converting.
