By "Atheist Jew" I mean that religiously I am an atheist or Bright. But I am ethnically Jewish which means that my ancestors lived in Israel. I am also culturally Jewish which means I calebrate Hanukkah and Passover for the sake of cultural heritage and the like. No religion involved.

I am also culturally Jewish which means I calebrate Hanukkah and Passover for the sake of cultural heritage and the like. No religion involved. Ive met an Atheist Jew back when I was moderating Freethinkers and atheists of Virginia. I got a good laugh out of it when he told me... then I stopped and got serious and said: "I hope you have a good sense of humor about it." Which made him crack up. He explained that it was more about communal laws and traditional identity in the Jewish community. Sure, some of the Jews want you to believe in God, but as long as you are following the (I cant remember the word he used) "Law", then you are fine. It made sense to me... complicated sense... but sense none the less. 
I think most Jews are atheists these days.
Yes, when I debated some of my family members on the issue they didn't really try to defend it. Also, in the course of one of these debates one of my relatives stated that if you try to argue against the existence of god with a rabbi, and base one of your points on something in the Torah, he will try to twist the meaning around and interpret it in the "correct" way.
Not a problem, you Atheist Jew
 Are you an accountant or lawyer?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

She's been absent for a bit, I hear rumor she's too busy to grace us with her presence anymore.
@Rev J. I believe that would be rabinical law.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
