Please understand, I love being a Jew and I’m super-proud of all that “my” people have accomplished in so many aspects of life—especially in the face of persistent prejudice, hatred and outright murder—but I consider myself a devout cultural Jew: I love the history, the humour and even some of the food! But a belief in God and organized religion? Not for me. A line from Woody Allen’s Love and Death sums up my feelings well: “If it turns out that there is a God . . . the worst you can say about him is that basically he’s an underachiever.”
