Could someone please clarify this statement for me?

Jewish people are a race, Judaism is a religion.

You can be a non-Jewish Jew, or a Jewish non-Jew.

** The person who says race is an artificial construct obviously drank the koolaid from his egalitarian politically correct humanities professor. Race is not a social construct, but a scientifically identifiable characteristic.

Have you ever heard the term "non practising" before? I'd long suspected it was code for atheist.

So, he was raised a Jew, is culturally a Jew, but does not believe in God....You are telling me that each & every butt in each and every seat in all religions are attached to brains & hearts that believe? C'mon, some peeps are only there because of spousal or parental pressure & you know it.

I think when he said he is jewish, he means race...as in white, black, hispanic, etc etc

A militant atheist is of the worst kind of human being.....run very quickly away from such a one.

Seems like he sets him self up on high, boasting of his shame!

Yep, I'm a Protestant and an atheist, I am proud of my background and heritage, but I don't believe the earth was created 6000 years ago by some dude in the sky.

On being an atheist Catholic, being raised in Catholic church alters your entire mindframe and thinking, just as being raised British makes you think differently from being raised American. If you then leave the church and reject your faith, you will retain the Catholic way of thinking (somewhat) but not believe in God. In this sense, sure, you could be an atheist Catholic

He associates being viewed as culturally "Jewish" as being on the receiving end of hatred and bigotry from "good moral christians".

A bit annoying at times but I applaud Radcliffe.

Jewish is also a race like being Irish. It is not just a religion.

He is Jewish by RACE, not religion.
