@db @RadixVerum before I was ever aware of the JQ, I found it absurd that someone would be "ethnically Jewish." I would push back on that premise, because it just makes no sense to have a religion and an ethnicity be interchangeable.
The way I see it, I don't recognize the label of being "ethnically Jewish" regardless of the intentions. You cannot be an atheist Jew, as you are trying to cling to an identity that you don't truly adhere to.
