Could Roman Empire be considered a warrior society?
No, while the military was an important aspect of Roman society the social classes were patrician and plebians

The Jews were also an important and unique part of Roman society, and they were the only group whom the Romans failed to convert and eventually gave up trying.
Not really. And certainly not after Marius' reforms, which basically allowed any free subject of Rome to join the mighty army.

Early Republic? Maybe. After the Social Wars? Not at all.

The romans never trtconvertedied to convert anyone untill christianity became the state religion. What they did do was the odd religious purge such as with the christians and the druids.
The jews got permission to pray to Yahweh for the wellbeing of the roman emperor which evaded the inhabitants' of the roman empires duty to pray to the empire for the wellbeing of the state. Not doing that was considered treason.

No, but it was a military society even in the nadir days of the 4th and 5th centuries AD. The entire purpose of triumphs and the games were to inspire bloodlust and hatred in people who had not seen soldiers for centuries, with them stationed far away on the frontiers. Even with only a tiny proportion of the population actually signing up to become a soldier, society was still incredibly militarised, and the army was basically essential to have hope of a successful political career or to become emperor.

You what?

The republic' early or or middle, definitely could but calling the empire a warrior society would be a stretch. Partially because all the good warriors like Germanicus were being killed by sleazy politicians like Tiberius.

Marius' reforms made the military actually more popular and ubiquitous. Before the Punic wars most Roman soldiers were farmers that onwned land, after this war most of them lost these lands and became destitute urban serfs, Marius took away the land owning requirement allowing these classes to serve again and be represented in some form, and the military became it's own form of state overshadowing the Senate and political framework.

This.
The army was the state and the state was the army.

Yes through and through, their entire law code and civil system is oriented around the military
