Pretty simple, really.

I don't call myself an American Atheist, nor a Catholic Atheist, nor an Irish Atheist, nor a Scientific Atheist. I don't qualify my atheism with some cultural meaning. Jewish Atheist is a commonly used term used I think because of the reason's Max in Greece describes. What is Jewish culture if it is not related to monotheistic Judaism? Its a 19th and 20th century thing yes? So Jewish Atheist means what? What does Jewish culture and Atheism have to do with each other? Or are we saying Jewish now has nothing to do with Judaism?
