If the 21 year old daughter of a Jewish couple stands up and says "I don't believe in any religion", is she still Jewish? Are her kids? I have no idea... The answer is "yes" and "yes". Jewishness is inherited. In biblical times it was inherited paternally; sometime during the middle ages the rabbis switched it to maternal inheritance to settle the question of whether the children of Jewish women who had been raped by non-Jews were Jewish. The only condition is that she doesn't convert to something else. If she becomes an evangelical Christian, that's a problem. When Israelis refer to themselves as "secular" they generally mean "Jewish, but completely non-religious"
