Rothbard used to call himself a "Jewish Thomist," for what that's worth. His book on the Progressive Era is very sympathetic to Catholics/Lutherans, very unsympathetic to Social Gospel types.
An absolutely fair point, I retract my earlier statement, thank you for the correction – it is better to say “from a Jewish heritage.” I don’t know how anti-religious Rothbard was though, wasn’t he married to a Christian woman?https://twitter.com/SteveFranssen/status/1077961131333804037 …

The problem occurs from linking an ethnicity to a religion. Jews should just be considered practitioners of that faith whereas members of that ethnicity should be considered either Hebrews or Israelites (not to be confused with Israelis).

Rand was an atheist yet she had an absolute loyalty to Israel. No other religious group has this relationship to its secular members. A modern uniqeness.

Being anti-God is a mark of modern Jewishness.

The story goes that Rothbard left Ayn Rand’s “circle” because of their incessant criticism of his marriage to a Presbyterian woman.

Nominal Christian or dedicated Christian?

I very much appreciate the clarification. "Anti-religious" probably doesn't describe Rothbard, looking into it more. Thank you for your consideration.
