Religion information

Daniel’s father is a Protestant while his mother is Jewish; however, there was little or no religion in Daniel’s home. When it comes to identifying his religious upbringing, Daniel chooses Judaism, but most people consider this to be a joke. He once said,

“I’m very proud of being Jewish. It means I have a good work ethic, and you get Jewish humor, and you’re allowed to tell Jewish jokes. For instance: did you hear how copper wire was invented? Two Jews were fighting over a penny.”

Daniel might also be an atheist in reality, somehow confusing, isn’t it? He considers himself to be a “military atheist” when it comes to involving religion in politics.
