What do they call Jews who've left their faith?

Penniless?

It is probably accurate tho. There is a lot of networking that goes on
at Temple. One of the salesmen at IBM was a JewCatholic agnostic but
he still went to temple with his devout brother now and then, just to
see his friends. He is the guy who explained the menorah to my
daughter when she thought she might try judaism.
We had one in the living room for the holidays and she had already lit
all of the candles before the first day of Hanukkah.

I've sometimes thought that if I were to ever become religious (other
than on commercial airplanes) I'd probably look seriously at Judaism.
I'd be a hypocrite though. My interest isn't in the teachings. I just
like some of the traditions and customs.
