Neville, Marx was less than a secular Jew. He was baptized as a child and became a rabid antisemite (see Karl Marx on the Jewish Question). BTW, there have also been secular Jews on the Right (e.g. Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, Ernest van den Haag, Frank Meyer – who converted to Catholicism just before his death). Interestingly, Mises was anti-religious but his chief student is an orthodox rabbi, Rabbi Prof. (Emeritus) Israel Kirzner who is considered to be Mises’ continuance in Economics.
