There are a great number of fringe groups in the world - such as the group known as Black Hebrew Israelites - and great many individuals who follow their own idiosyncratic path.
There is no point in discussing terms like Hebrew, Hebrew religion, Israelite religion, or Judaism without knowing more about your friend and what it is, exactly, he believes.
People are entitled to believe whatever they wish, whatever they choose. I'm more than happy to weigh in, but, in context, I don't have enough information to properly do so.
