No, the Jews are specifically the children of Abraham, who was born a few thousand years later.
I think you might be overlooking the bigger questions here:
Did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons?
If so, were they Innies, or Outies?

Agnostics?.... lol
just kidding
Partially serious answer: they were Jewish since this story belongs to the Jewish traditions. But some might think they were Christians also since they have the same origins.
I personally think that they were not involved in any religion at all, religions are man made institutions, and i find it hard to believe that only two people needed an institution to organize their believes.

I don't think that anyone had a religion then. I mean they obviously believed in G-d cuz like He spoke to them and everything but they didn't belong to a specific religion. Abraham was the first official Jew. And all people are not Jewish because Adam and Eve weren't, their sons werent...

Adam and Eve were just God's creation, no religious attachment.
They knew God, but they were not obedient to God, thus they did not live forever.
They were not Jewish.
Jews are the descendants of Judah, son of Jacob.
They were not Israelites either.
Israelites were the descendants of Jacob called Israel.
Abraham had a relationship with God, and talked with God and God talked with him, but he was not Jewish or an Israelite.
Abraham was the great-grandfather of the Jews, but he was not a Jew.
I think religion is not necessarily mans way of seeking God, but mans way of worshiping God, and attempting to learn more about him, and what he expects of us.

They were not Jewish....Abraham is considered the father of Judaism. After the fall of Adam & Even, God revealed himself very slowly as the One True God.
Adam & Eve did not belong to any particular faith at all.

Religion is a man made system set up to attempt to discover God. Adam and Eve knew Him intimately, there was no need for religion, as I don't believe there is a need now. What we need is a relationship with Him.

they weren't any religion. They were simply believers in the one true God.
The Jews did not become a nation until Abraham circumsized Isaac and his entire household. That was the covenant between God and His chosen people - and the moment when they became the Jewish nation.
"Religion" is a manmade system of interpretations of the scripture.

Well back then there was no such thing as Christianity because Christ was not born yet. But no matter what religion Adam and Eve had, it doesn't effect us today. Our religion is whatever we want it to be as individuals, religion is not heredity and u're parents can be one religion and you can be another. It's just what u believe as human.

Adam and Eve had a personal relationship with God but destroyed it when they sinned. The Hebrew lineage went through Seth and the ones who walked with god.

Religion is manmade. There was not need for religion. God walked with them in the garden and they had a personal relationship with Him.
