Sean Altman sings his faith to Sun-Times

In advance of Saturday's show, Jewmongous creator Sean Altman talks to the Sun-Times:

In his liner notes and in his show, Altman, 49, talks about his faith -- or lack of it. He admits he hasn't been much of a believer since he went through the motions of his bar mitzvah. That doesn't mean, however, that he feels disconnected from the Jewish community.

"It's unique to Judaism that you can feel very Jewish while not being observant," Altman says. "I'm a professional Jew. I've never believed, but I respect what our people have achieved. The only way I can honor [my heritage] is not via prayer, it's by singing and telling jokes. ... The God part doesn't enter into it. It's a club -- just with very heavy food."
