[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does it mean to be Jewish? Is it an ethnicity, a culture, a religion, or all three? Can one be a Jewish atheist? There is a difference between celebrating Hanukkah and other Jewish holidays and actively accepting traditional Jewish prayers that suggest the Messiah has not yet come. [/quote] Religion. No you can not be an atheist and be Jewish. Are you stupid? You must be a troll.[/quote] I'm not sure you understand how Judaism and Jewish identity work. It [i]is[/i][b] in fact all three - an ethnicity, a culture, and a religion[/b]. There are atheist Jews. You just can't actively be another religion (like Catholic) and still also be religiously Jewish. It doesn't work that way.[/quote] ^This. You retain your ethnicity, obviously (which is different from nationality). Jewish culture is very intertwined with the Jewish religion though, and herein lies the problem for some converts. An acquaintance who is ethnically Jewish said that his community made it clear that, basically, he could believe anything he wanted and remain culturally Jewish EXCEPT for claiming that Jesus is the Messiah. Then you're out. Pray to mother earth, talk to flowers, practice astrology, whatever, just absolutely no Jesus is eternal God claims.[/quote]
