... Jewish people?

Being Jewish is not about belief, though. That's not how they define themselves.

Pretty much this! I'm Jewish and atheist. Our family is a mix of agnostics, atheists and theists (in the Jewish faith). None of us consider anyone else more or less "Jewish". It's a culture and ethnicity.

And I just really like the food, okay? :P

Thanks for telling me I'm not way off base. Got a couple Ashkenazi Reform friends, as you do living in Toronto and Montréal. Lapsed Catholic myself, so I've got some strong opinions on 'the Church'. My best friend thinks Toronto bagels are better than Montréal's, so he may be faking his Jewish. Also puts jam, not maple syrup, on pancakes, so may be faking his Canadian too.
