    I know Steven Hassan was Jewish before he joined the Moonies. But being Jewish doesn't necessarily mean that person believes in God. My parents are Jewish, I was brought up celebrating Jewish holidays which were fun, my dad is agnostic and my mum is atheist, because of her suffering at Hitler's hands. Judaism is more of a culture for them than a religious belief, my dad still goes to synagogue every Saturday, when he prays he probably doesn't think he is praying to God though.

    Some people refer to Lawrence Krauss as an Atheist Jewish Scientist.

    Good thread, I have met Steven Hassan before and never thought to ask him about his religious beliefs.

    Having faith in a diety is not equivalent to belonging to a high control religion.

    I'm not sure if someone posted this already but here is a 2 hour podcast interview with Stephen Hassan as the guest. They briefly talk about Jehovah's Witnesses during the first 5 minutes. Joe Rogan asks Stephen Hassan if his new religion qualifies as a cult and Hassan visibly struggles in answering him.

    That is hilarious. I don't think you can change what nationality you were born


    Judaism is not only a nationality, but an etno-religious group. Of course I was not referring to his nationality because it is hilarious indeed that he was was born in the USA, so his nationality is american.

    I think he is open about it.

    I think that video answers very clearly what he believes... He is ok with cults as long as they are "benign" cults.
