Yes, but not as much as it would help him if he converted to Hipster Christianity

Does the OP not seem slightly concerning and anti-Semitic to anyone, at least to some extent?
It didn't to me, as the OP was describing a hypothetical scenario and not advocating any particular course of action. I'm curious, should it seem anti-Semitic to me?

Plus if Jews converting to Christianity is anti-Semitic then so is the New Testament especially Paul's writings.
The point is that being pro-choice and Catholic are not mutually exclusive.

Plot twist: what if he converts to Catholicism?

He wouldn't because he's pro-choice.

If he's converting religions maybe he will convert on that too.

I want to know if Sanders is still BRTD's "king" now that he's gotten himself into this controversy about a religious test:

It would have no impact. Most people probably don't even know he isn't one now.

In all bluntness Senator Sanders would lose significant levels of support in Colorado, Oregon, and New England while making minimal gains in Texas, Virginia, and Kansas. To be perfectly clear, I don't endorse changing religions for political gain, but even if I did, it would take tremendous losses on President Trump's part from now until then to deliver even minimal electoral votes to the senator.

Having said all that, my map is as follows:

√Trump/Pence 290
Sanders/Some Centrist 248

He'd still be ethnically Jewish in this scenario, and he's not a religious Jew now. So he'd be no less Jewish than he is currently. How is that anti-Semitic?

I don't think Bernie should Run in 2020 (as I think it would be best for party unity to have a non-Hillary non-Bernie in 2020) ....

But that said- I don't think him being Jewish has any effect on his level of support (seems like that would only be an issue for the  Religious Right... who aren't likely to vote for him (or any Dem) to begin with due to his stance on social issues.

Yes

Well, we already knew that he was bigoted against Catholics, so no real surprise.

That's like saying you are bigoted against Republicans.

And as I've said before, Sanders would be no less Jewish in this scenario than he is now. He would still be ethnically Jewish. He's not currently religiously Jewish. How is that anti-Semitic?

You're no better than the DNC hack who wanted to claim Bernie was an atheist. He's said he's not.

Another BRTD "Fake News" post....

Yawn--- Would be in bed by now, but have extra time on my hands waiting for my Wife to come home from the Warehouse job, so now I'm so bored that I am responding to yet another BRTD thread.

I can't believe what this world is coming to.      Wink

I didn't say say he was an atheist. I said he's not a religious Jew. He doesn't even claim to be one.

Even if he doesn't, I should edit this to make a bumper sticker with a "Sanders 2020" on it somewhere.

If we're going to get all silly, why not hope that he becomes a Buddhist? Buddhism is about peace and Sanders voted the right way on the Iraq vote.
