Jewish Atheism
Jewish atheism is the atheism of people who are ethnically and (at least to some extent) culturally Jewish. "Jewish atheism" is not a contradiction because Jewish identity encompasses not only religious components but also, and for most Jews mainly, ethnic and cultural ones. Jewish law's emphasis on descent through the mother means that even religiously conservative Orthodox Jewish authorities would accept an atheist born to a Jewish mother as fully Jewish. Jewish secularism, which describes Jews who do not explicitly reject the existence of God but also do not believe it is an important part of their Jewishness, has a long tradition in the United States. Statistics A 2013 Pew Research Center study found that 62% of self-described American Jews say being Jewish is mainly a matter of ancestry and culture and 15% say it is mainly a matter of religion.

Hiloni
''Hiloni'' (), plural ''hilonim'' (; "secular"), is a social category in Israel, designating the least religious segment among the Jewish public. The other three subgroups on the scale of Jewish-Israeli religiosity are the ''masortim'', "traditional"; '' datiim'', "religious"; and ''haredim'', "ultra-religious" ("ultra-Orthodox"). In the 2018 Israel Central Bureau of Statistics' survey, 43.2% of Jews identified as ''hiloni''. Definitions In the Israeli parlance, ''hiloni'' is used to identify Jews who observe fewer traditional practices than the other, more religious, Jewish subgroups (apart from that, the term may also be used as a derogatory epithet by observant Jews, or to be associated with secularism). Definition: p. 2, beliefs and practice: pp. 10-11, 30. Between 2002 and 2018, among Jewish adult respondents to ICBS polls, self-identified ''hilonim'' numbered between a maximum of 45% in 2005 and a minimum of 41.4% in 2009. In 2018, the figure was 43.2%. Though ''hilon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
