Maher was born in New York City, the son of Julie (née Berman), a nurse, and William Maher, Sr., a network news editor and radio announcer. Maher was raised in his Irish American father's Catholic religion, and did not find out that his mother was Jewish until his teenage years. Maher's family stopped attending church when Maher was thirteen, because of Maher's father's disagreement with the Catholic Church's position on birth control.

Can you inherit a religion?

If your Mother is Jewish, you are Jewish.

A Jew who converts to Christianity is still Jewish.

Bill Maher is an insult to the Jewish Religion. He is a hateful little man that only makes a one sided argument. He cannot stand anyone disagreeing with him and uses Condescension as a weapon, with his Liberal Audience backing him up. In other words, he is a Gutless Wonder to behold.

Wow, I just realized he sounds a lot like Obama.

The jewish one you can. Jewish religion is passed on maternally, so technically Bill Maher is a jew. Whether he practices Judiasm or not.
