I'm an atheist and a Jew too!  Don't live in Israel, though.

That's the real complication with defining Judaism - culture vs. religion vs
even race.  Clearly it's not a race, though people used to refer to it that
way.  For me it's cultural, as I would be hard pressed to believe in any of
the religious stuff.  It's really like an ethnic identity.

Thank goodness it's Friday, I've been holding off on replying to much of
this Jew stuff!  I really don't want a free van, though, as the one I have
is already taking too much of my time!
