is jew(s) always capitalized?

Answer 1

No. If you are talking about the plant, i.e. a wandering jew, it is not capitalized. If you are talking about a religion, it is capitalized, i.e. the Jewish council or Jews were persecuted in WWII.

Note: The word "atheist" or "atheism" is not capitalized, because it is not a religion, nor is "theist" or "theism".

Answer 2

Just have to say I thoroughly enjoyed all the choices! I believe that they all contain a truth, so I'm going with all 25! I think you have done an admirable job covering all the plausible explanations, but in the spirit of the question all attempt to add to the list... There may be something in the "ho-hum" visual impact of the small "i"- just not very exciting! Certainly not much of an affirmation of our existence. Perhaps that is because it is the nothing more than an antithetical, upside down exclamation point! And instead of shouting our existence, it muffles it! I believe when the original caveman were given the job of inventing our language (when life began on earth over 6000 years ago *), they must have realized this fact. Knowing that we would be in competition with a lot of other species and extinction was the rule, rather than the exception, I'm sure they felt they needed to provide a symbolic understanding of our worth. Now a traditional capitalized "I" has an extension at the top and the bottom, as if acknowledging our humble beginnings "rooted" to the earth (lest we forget our beginnings) and yet as our eyes travel up the column we see that we are actually reaching out to heaven or to the stars. I'm sure the cavemen felt that such a symbol would convince the dinosaurs, giant marsupials and other species that our destiny is obvious: To Connect Heaven And Earth. now nobody is going to believe that can be accomplished with an upside down exclamation point! * some will dispute this

Yes, it is like writing someone's name, or talking about any other religion, because you are tlaking about a certain group of people, which means that capitalisation is required for good punctuation (though lazy people tend never to capitalise much unless they are stating something clearly).
