I was brought up in a Jewish home. All my relatives and ancestors were Jewish. I took all my kids to Hebrew pre-schools. My mother is Jewish, so by Jewish Law, which makes me a Jew. I look Jewish and enjoy salted matza with butter... yum.
The kicker is, I'm an atheist. So if a pollster asked me what religion I was, I'd probably (and probably have said) "I am Jewish"... In actuality, I AM JEWISH, but I don't believe in Judaism (the religion)
So, if there are others like me in America (and I know there are many), then that poll would seriously under-count atheists such as me.
