I never outgrew my conversion to atheism at 13, but at various times was a serious cultural Jew.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up Jewish, became an atheist and a Marxist, and 28 years ago, at age 26, became a Christian.
I was nearly a teen-ager before I stopped assuming that everyone I met was Jewish.
I consider myself more of a cultural Jew; I'm not religious in any way.
I was raised Jewish. I didn't know anything about Christianity.
I consider myself an atheist. My wife is Jewish. And I'm fine with my son being raised as a Jew. He's learning Hebrew and is really into it. I will talk to my own son about my atheism when the time is right. But there's a great tradition of Jewish atheism, there are no better atheists in the world than the Jews.
I come from generations of progressive, atheist Jews.
I went through the standard scientific atheist phase when I was about 14. I bought into that package deal of science equals atheism.
My family was totally non-religious. There was no question we were Jewish, but we were not observant.
I never paid much attention to being Jewish when I was a kid. In fact, I'd say my religion was more surfing than Judaism - that's what I spent most of my time doing.
My parents were secular. I am an atheist.
