You don't have the right to tell Jews who is Jewish. You especially don't have the right to override what Jews say about it.

I have as much right to define terms as anyone.

If a child of a Jewish religious person decides he doesn't believe in the Jewish religion, and is therefore not Jewish (since it's a religion and nothing else, in the modern world), I will agree with him/her. I don't care whether the continuing members of the Jewish religion disagree.

And if some Jewish atheist claims there is something different about him/her and all the other atheists in the world, then I want to know.....exactly what is different about him/her other than the fact that his/her mom was in a specific religious group?

Dr. Seuss is on my side, the idea of Sneeches and Snipes (or whatever the other fictional "ethnic group" was) is outdated.
