I am also a Jewish atheist married to a formerly Christian (although not since she was a child) atheist.

And for those who say that you cannot be an atheist and a Jew, the following people are/were atheists:

Larry David
Sarah Silverman
Both Carl and Rob Reiner
Gene Wilder
Jerry Lewis
Randy Newman

Even (although I hate to bring him up) Woody Allen is an atheist. Good luck convincing people either Larry David or Woody Allen aren't Jewish.

Just wait for some talking head asshat to coin the term "JINO".

In practice, would that be like being atheist but still celebrating Hannukah or Christmas?

Or is it just Jewish heritage from a lineage perspective regardless of one's perspective/practice on religion/god?

[–] UmeU@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The Jewish religion is entirely separate from the Jewish ethnicity.

There may be a good amount of overlap but one can be ethnically Jewish and not religiously Jewish (Woody Allen), and likewise one can be religiously Jewish but not ethnically Jewish (Ivanka Trump).

Sincerely, a Jewish atheist who celebrates Christmas.

Lineage plus culture. There's a lot of unique Jewish culture that has developed over the centuries. Some of it has spread to the general public- bagels, the word "schmuck," etc.

Yeah.. if telling fascists you don't practice didn't make a difference, bc "you're still a Jew," then you can be Jewish and anything
