I recently read that according to one study, about half of Jews in the US are either atheists or agnostics. The recently deceased Christopher Hitchens often joked that it was because they had an anti-God gene.
What say you?
And just being stuck with the OT (effectively) is probably quite a turn-off.
I mean have you read it? (sorry silly question, of course you haven't)

Originally posted by whodeyI once told one of my closest friends and his wife that I had just heard a good definition of a Jew. They are Jewish. What I told them was, a Jew is a person to whom "What does it mean to be a Jew?" is a lifelong question. With a laugh, my friend said they had to agree. One thing I will say in reply to you is that in my experience, the Jewish spiritual experience is more about community than it is about theology.

We have traveled with this couple across New Zealand, through the Panama Canal, down the Danube to the Black Sea, and across northern Italy, so we know them pretty well.
In my view, people who want to learn about the Jewish view of God should ask their Jewish friends about it.

Now watch this. After reading this, the next step will be to accuse me of Anti Semitism. That is usually the next move for the Atheist. The Atheist Agenda -
1.) Oppose the existence of God.
2.) Seek assistance from the Christ opposing Jew.
This is often done by advizing the Christian that he better go to a Messiah rejecting Jewish theist to get a proper understanding of the Old Testament.
The Atheist will also insist that the Old Testament is totally off limits to the Christian. The object is to drive as strong a wedge between the Old Testament and the New Testament - to cut all lines of connection.
"Christian, that is not your book. You know nothing about it. You must ask the Jews" says the Atheist.
3.) Drive a wedge between Christian and Jew with accusations of Anti Semitism.
I am not just talking what I have not seen. On other forums I have participated in I have seen a lot of this pattern. I sometimes think of it as the Atheist / Jew Alliance. But the "alliance" is usually more in the mind of the Atheist than the Theistic Jew (if he or she happens to be one).
In short what I am saying is some Atheists take an approach - "I need to be anti God and anti Christ. I come to you guys for help to fight against these Christians because I know you've been rejecting the Gospel for a longer time than anyone else."
I expect now accusations of Anti Semitism from the Atheists.

Play the victim card.

There are many reasons for being an atheist but the most common are that belief
based on faith is irrational and immoral and thus given the utter lack of evidence for
the existence of any god or gods then none should be believed in.
The Christian god is but one of those god concepts for which there is no evidence and
is not believed equally with all other god concepts by an atheist.
The Atheist will also insist that the Old Testament is totally off limits to the Christian.
The object is to drive as strong a wedge between the Old Testament and the New Testament
- to cut all lines of connection.
Um what?

No don't be silly.
Accusations of being a complete and utter moron is what is coming your way.
When the Atheist uses the Theist Jew to push him in front of his anti-Christ arguments, it almost seems like the Atheist has temporarily become a Theist. But he is only interested in the Christ contrarian arguments of Judaism.
Since the resurrection of Christ Judaism has been largely structured around a denial of Jesus as the Jewish Messiah.
They will wax eloquent on Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus like you wouldn't believe.
I went through this for years on The Creation Evolution Forum.

We see all these tactics being used constantly on this forums by certain theists especially the infantile 5th and 6th ones recently.

Jewish, the number is quite disproportionate i think.

Originally posted by stellspalfieThe reality is that Atheists are more tolerant of Jews than Christians because quite frankly Jews are more tolerant of them in return. Judaism is not evangelical nor universal. It is, as has been mentioned earlier in this thread, more of a community (i.e. tribal religion). It is not designed to spread to all nations worldwide. If you want to become a Jew you must become part of the Jewish community (rites of passage included).
its not like atheists get together and prioritize targets. christ isnt like a thompsons gazelle to a bunch of atheist lions. i dont know if other atheist on here share my views but i find the old testament much more disturbing than the new testament. id be much more likely to get in a heated debate with somebody supporting the old testament. i could see forces' with followers of jewdaism. the atheist on here dont even join forces with each other.
Not so with Christianity as it is evangelical and thus it is Christians who are telling Atheists that they are in league with Satan and will suffer eternal punishment unless they convert and submit.
Is it any wonder then that Atheists will tend to be more friendly towards Jews and not so much towards Christians? Yet here you have Jaywill playing the victim card by claiming that Atheists are trying to use Jews to gang up on poor Christians. Christianity must be the most passive aggressive religion in the history of the world.
