I heard some peopletalking on the radio a little while back about what it means to be Jewish, and they expressed this concept of being culturally jewish but not religious. And within this idea of Jewish culture there are groups of Jews who celebrate jewish traditions/festivals/customs for reasons of ethnic rather than religious identity.
Similar, I guess, to how agnostic/athiest/CofE people happily sing carols and celebrate christmas but aren't really religious.
I must say I like the idea that you can keep your cultural inheritance even though you might not believe all the religious baggage that goes along with it.

I reckon about half of the Jews I know don't keep anything whatsoeverThey see being culturally Jewish as hanging with Jews, family etc. The general attitude to that is "Hey, it's up to you, it's none of my business. Just find a good husband/wife. But make sure she's not French*"
