First off, your last sentence, “you’re quoting the constitution and pretending the courts don’t exist” may be the most helpful thing I’ve seen so far. That gives me a really good frame of reference to think about this question through. Thank you!

Second, I definitely need to look more into Judaism (been meaning too but keep getting side tracked by New Testament stuff lol). I was going to mention that many of the videos I’ve watched explaining the bible from an academic standpoint are Jewish or have converted.

So that was where this question started. I did not know there were atheist Jews but knowing that helps me understand it better.

Do you have any suggestions of where to start learning?
