Definition of jew
1.An adherent of Judaism as a religion or culture.
2.A member of the widely dispersed people originally descended from the ancient Hebrews and sharing an ethnic heritage based on Judaism.
3.A native or inhabitant of the ancient kingdom of Judah.

The second definition explains why someone will say they're atheist but still consider themselves a jew.
