I dunno, Joshua.
"We are special because we made a compact with God hahah fuck everyone else" seems pretty core to Jewish belief in my experience of it. Now, some people (like you, or my friend Rav Naomi) manage to find other, positive, messages, and to fuse it with humanism in ways that are deeply meaningful and useful to you personally. But that doesn't change the fact that the core beliefs are entirely about the superiority of The Race over all others.
