On the Abrahamic Religions

Of the main monotheistic (Abrahamic) religions, Judaism is, IMO, the most benign, for the reason presented at left.  It’s certainly the least convoluted; there is no Holy Trinity, for instance.  It also requires the least acceptance of bizarre, and in some cases anti-humanistic tenets.  No one is going to burn in hell for eternity because he was accidentally born in the wrong part of the world.

Having said that, if you’re tracking with the Rabbi here, what actually separates the atheist from the Jew?  What precisely is the value in believing in God?
