Being Jewish is as much ethnic and cultural as it is religious. So I see no contradiction.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Exactly right. My wife self-identifies as Jewish - her parents are Reform and observant, and one of her brothers is a rabbi. She speaks fluent Yiddish and a little Hebrew, and makes a reasonable effort to keep kosher, but she's not nuts over it (she refers to ham as 'Jewish salmon'). That being said, she's got no use for gods, godism, or godists. She's a Jewish atheist.

Whatever people want to identify it, as long as it has some cultural basis is fine IMO.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

I don't self describe as militant, but I am a Jewish atheist.
I also make a mean latke and I don't dry out the brisket.
