If your father is Jewish and your mother is a gentile, des that mean your kids are gentiles?

Gene Simmons from Kiss is a Jew, the mother of his kids is a non-jew, I believe she says (Shannon Tweed) she does not believe in religion, although I don’t think she is an Atheist, so the kids are gentiles???

Does not make much sense IMHO....

Yes

Yes, as a matter of law they are gentiles. As a practical matter, the more exposure one has to Judaism the easier it would be to convert if that were ever desired. In the case of Gene Simmons, he was born in Israel and speaks Hebrew. If he had taught his kids Hebrew and raised them to know how to practice the religion and celebrate the holidays then it would not be very difficult for them to convert.
