Yes, you got it, except that now that I think about it,  I am a Catholic 
atheist.   Once a Catholic, always a Catholic, so saith the Church.  And they 
might be right.  Is Jewish Atheism any more bizarre than Jews for Jesus?

Andy:  Jews for Jesus sounds possible.  I don't know anything about it, but one 
need not believe Jesus is a God.  Or perhaps one can accomodate two Gods, or 
something along those lines.  We are Judeo-Christian after all.  But an atheist 
believes in no God, while Judaism is by definition based on a God.  It's like 
being matter and anti-matter at the same time.  Or that's how it seems to me.  
Unless it's just the cultural aspect of Judaism, in which case, which culture?  
I really can't make it work.
