ArchivesBut Jesus manages to cover it with his WWJD? baseball cap...
in reply to a message by Whose the god of atheists? (Shay)
It also depends on how one views the term "Jewish". Here in the U.S., "Jewish" as much describes one's ethnicity as one's religion.
And sometimes just one's ethnicity alone. For example, of my own Jewish parents, my father was an atheist -- but a Jew, nevertheless.

But there's a difference between a "Jewish" ethnicity, and being a Hebrew speaker, using Hebrew names.

"But there's a difference between a "Jewish" ethnicity, and being a Hebrew speaker, using Hebrew names."
Definitely. Which is why (as you pointed out so well) we have Hebrew names which aren't necessarily "Jewish".
