His last name was (((Baum))), wasn't it?
(I can't find any source today that Baum is indeed jewish, but it appeared in my list of jewish surnames when I compiled it a few years ago).
The problem is that many American Jewish names are also German names.
All evidence points to him being not religious, but raised in a Methodist family, with no Jewish ancestry.
Edit your comment?
Baum is just German for "tree."
Are there Jews named Baum? Sure. Is Baum a specifically Jewish name? No.
According to Wikipedia:
Heck, just looking through the lists of Baums, there's a freaking Waffen-SS commander named Otto Baum.
