Dear well off Jewish Woman at the talk today:

You do not, really not, absolutely not, NEVER FUCKING NOT have the right to criticise a Holocaust survivor when he tells you he does not believe in god. Or go into a rant about how the Jews are clearly the chosen people and how can he not admit the obvious truth yadda yadda yadda.

SERIOUSLY WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? I'VE MET NEO-NAZIS WHO'VE BEHAVED BETTER!

Yeah, because the Holocaust was a test. Everyone just filed in, sat down, took up their pencils, and anyone who made less than 60% got gassed. There are lots of reasons to be an atheist, and surviving the most brutal and disgusting wholesale slaughter of human life in recorded history is a damned good one.

People confuse me sometimes. Especially that lady. Oy.

I'm not making a distinction in this. Some holcoaust survivors still believe in god, and that's understandable, survival was such a miracle you migth well start thinking someone was looking out for you, or maybe you just want to believe there was some point to it all. Some don't and that's more than understandable. I am an atheists in the Dawkins style but there are some places I just DO NOT GO.
