Very few on these forums call themselves Catholic Atheists, Muslim Atheists, Christian Atheists. But I've now come across a couple folks who use another moniker. What is a Jewish Atheist? How can you truly be a Jewish Atheist? Sure, its an ethnic identity; its a persecuted minority; its family relationships. One might cling to all of that. But why the label? Why not just Atheist?

To me, being Jewish means and has always meant being proud to be part of a people that has maintained its distinct identity for more than 2,000 years, with all the pain and torment that has been inflicted upon it.
