You're not serious about "returning to their old homes" bit are you? I don't know any Israeli accepting that, I even don't know many arabs thinkg that is still possible. You do know that their old homes are in Israel now, and that would end the jewish majority ?
What about Jerusalem?

I'm a Jew who was born in Baltics (not Estonia btw) and now living in another country (not Israel, but I don't want to tell, never was there yet).
I could call myself an Ashkenazi Jew if you wanna call me a "something-Jew".
But I consider me being JEWISH, and a CITIZEN (or now RESIDENT) of a country.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I have huge doubts about both you and your mother.
The very "I'm not religious" thing is the reason, not to mention "to marry my father".
That's not how true conversion works...
(True one being solely "out of love for G-d", no material bonuses included.)
Sorry again.
Not saying that you are definitely not Jewish, but not saying the other way around too.
You can't play games with G-d.

warpus
In pork I trust
She did it because she wanted to marry the man she loved, not because she wanted to pretend to be someone she's not
(I should really stop getting involved in random exchanges like these..)

Links about conversion:
Almost the situation at hand..!
Another one on the same issue.
Common denominator being exactly what I said - you can convert only if you seek G-d, not any other reasons.
These "semi-fake" or "troublesome" conversions are the real pain in the back for normal Jews...
So, warpus, she did exactly that, pretended to seek G-d, while was seeking a husband.
Sorry, momo, but the sooner you find out the real situation, the sooner you can fix it.
Good luck to you!!!

"Normal" jews? Who are you to determine what is normal and what is not, for Jews worldwide?

I don't and won't care what others think - I hold by the Torah view that "normal" Jews are observant Orthodox ones.
That doesn't mean that those not-yet observant are not Jews, this "definition" is more against those who think that they shouldn't be observant at all and consider THAT normal.
Since the very first Jew, there were Jews and those who held us for idiots.
But we're here, unchanged, - and how many "types" of opposition disappeared into the fog of history???
(You know, ancient Greeks, Romans, not to mention all the neighbors of Israel... All were there - and where are they now???)

No, you aren't "Unchanged", no race or group is "Unchanged".

The Greeks are still around as far as I know. Persians too. Italians usually identify themselves with Romans don't they. The Egyptians are also there. The only ones really gone are Babylonia, Assyria and some others.
