I’ve known too many American Jews who are JINO. They are solely cultural Jews and not at all religious.

even if they’re not religious, that’s not as much of a problem as the ones who have Jewish parents but who disavow both the cultural and religious aspects of it; I once knew a guy named John Goldstein (name edited for privacy) who went around telling people “I’m not Jewish, I’m German,” and even brought in a Hitler Jugend picture book to class in 8th grade to prove how “German” he was to people. A few years later, he would tell people “I’m German and Ukrainian;” too bad Germans and Ukrainians of the era didn’t consider Jews among them to be either German and Ukrainian, and most American Jews are descendants from immigrants who came from the former Russian Empire (in which Ukraine was located, tons of Jews trace their roots to Odessa, Ukraine) or Austro-Hungarian and Kaiser Empires (areas far bigger than their successors but why many Jews do have Germanesque looking surnames). And a thousand others like him, who become vehement self-haters, some who completely deny Jewish heritage, others who use it in service of anti-Zionism.

You don’t need to be religious to know the evil of islam or any dictatorial pious “religion.”
