If you were Jewish, attending Yom Kippur services is the one thing you do not skip out on.  Period.  The point I stopped going to Yom Kippur is about the point that I realized I wasn't really Jewish anymore at all.

Well as said, I'd almost certainly have converted to Christianity anyway so that would apply.
You would still be Jewish though. Anyone whose mother is a Jew is a Jew, belief has nothing to do with it.

I really dislike "ethnoreligion" and basically refuse to recognize it. Also based on this logic what happens if a girl raised Jewish converts and then gets married and has her own kids that she raises Christian. Are those kids also Jewish even though no one in the family would identify as a Jew?

Yes. There are plenty of Jews whose beliefs completly contradict the established beliefs. Some Jews are even atheists.
