Religion is very simple. Say you are not a member of an organized religion, and you aren't, voila.


First, that's not true. What happens to a Muslim in Dubai who declares he isn't a Muslim? Either he is ignored or he becomes liable for the crime of apostasy.

Second, Jewish is not a religion as you keep insisting in a simple-minded way. It's an ethnic identity with an attached religion. That's why you can be a Jewish atheist. It is not so simple to disown your ethnic identity, which your mother certainly has a lot to do with. Ask anybody who was born African-American but decided to 'pass' for white.
