a person can be Jewish by birth but choose to 'opt out', either by declaring that he's not Jewish or more usually by converting to another religion.

How does that jive with your earlier statement that you think he is probably embarrassed to admit he is Jewish? If one can cease being Jewish by simply declaring that they are not Jewish, why would anyone remain Jewish, but be embarrassed about it?
