I don't mean to sound impolite, but what you're describing doesn't make any sense.
I'm a "deconverted" Jew myself, and no way would any of the agnostic or atheist Jews I know say they would die for their religion/culture. We're proud of it, but it's not the deal breaker.
It sounds as if he's having a really hard time reconciling his beliefs or lack thereof with expectations. Is his family orthodox or Hasidim?
