For those that don't know, being Jewish is the only ethnicity in the world that also refers to religion and (though no longer used due to antisemitic usage) national identities. Secular Jews are quite common

Yeah my dad is a Jewish atheist (or agnostic, depending on how much he feels like placating my catholic mom lol)

I am also a Jewish atheist married to a formerly Christian (although not since she was a child) atheist.

And for those who say that you cannot be an atheist and a Jew, the following people are/were atheists:

Larry David
Sarah Silverman
Both Carl and Rob Reiner
Gene Wilder
Jerry Lewis
Randy Newman

Even (although I hate to bring him up) Woody Allen is an atheist. Good luck convincing people either Larry David or Woody Allen aren't Jewish.
