This is only mentioned when it's irrelevant to the story but when it's important like identifying a criminal it's almost impossible to get race description out of the media.

It’s important to understand the relationship of the Jewish kings to YHWH. It’s too much to type here but you should read up on it. The king was the connection to YHWH. In second temple Judaism created by the Persians, Jews could no longer have a king (because Cyrus was the king).
Definitely interesting. Not heard much about that business.

In second temple writings Cyrus of persia is an anointed messiah of YHWH in Isaiah 45:1. Before the Babylonian conquest, the kings of Judah were messiahs. The first temple polytheist religion didn’t just die out when the Persians built the second temple with their new religion in tow. They were alive and well, and it is the first temple religion which evolved into a version of Christianity. The first temple religious practitioners viewed the new Persian-created religious adherents as foreigners and apostates. Who do you think was the real harlot on a hilltop, the whore of Babylon from Christian writings? It’s the second temple, built on a hilltop in Jerusalem, built by the Persians (at the time Babylon was their cultural center).
To the non-Roman early Christians like the Marcionites and Gnostic groups, they too were largely influenced by Jewish religion and the Old Testament. It’s just that they thought that the Old Testament gods (including YHWH) were evil and that Jesus came as the son of the Father (not YHWH) to rescue/redeem/ransom the people from the bloodthirsty YHWH and his minions. YHWH to them was the devil. YHWH demanded blood sacrifices and gave the people “the law” which was evil. Jesus was the final sacrifice to YHWH to rid the people of YHWH and his law.
Definitely interesting. Not heard much about that business.

I'm the agnostic guy that married a catholic girl and now sits thru mass completely zoned out.
But I grew up in a baptist church (forcefully) so the monk like chanting and songs are fine as long as the homily isn't damning me to hell for liking rock and roll.
