I think the argument prior have is that for religious Jews (~75% in the US) there are religious Jewish laws and a biblical God (~25% of us Jews believe in the biblical God)…
The fact that there is some wiggle room for those 50% of us Jews who believe in a higher power, but not specifically the god of the bible is the part that is lost.
The 25% of Jews who do believe in the biblical God absolutely fall into this meme without question.
Honestly, the problem here isn’t the “Christian atheists”. You are making some claims about Jews the people and others are making claims about Judaism the religion. Unfortunately, everyone is using the same word too describe it.
It feels to be a fundamental misunderstanding of Jewish culture and the way it’s inherently disconnected from Christianity, that’s my biggest issue with the meme overall tbh
Unfortunately it isn’t. You can take issue with the overgeneralizing of the 25% of religious Jews who believe in the biblical god… But you are just wrong to think that those 25% do not deserve to be included in this meme. (Or any other jew who believes in their biblical god)
