There are a number of Jews who do not believe in God, yet who do want to maintain ties with organized Judaism; they are attracted to the ethics and values that Judaism teaches, but could live without some of the supernatural interpretations. In 1963, a Detroit rabbi, Sherwin T. Wine, created what came to be known as Humanistic Judaism. His goal was to welcome secular Jews who liked Jewish culture and respected Jewish ethics; they would now be able to continue having a relationship with Judaism, and would not be expected to believe in a deity. The Society for Humanistic Judaism has been in existence since 1969 and has branches in a number of cities. I enclose a link to it.

Is humanistic judaism a recognized sect of the Jewish religion?
Humanistic Judaism is new as an organized group (it began in 1963), and while other non-orthodox sects refrain from officially condemning it, they generally do not see it as a religious denomination, but more of a social denomination. Due to the high rate of intermarriage, and the lax rules for conversion (in some cases non-existent), most individual Jews of other sects do not recognize humanistic Judaism as valid. Some Jewish sociologists believe that in a few generations, the members of humanistic Judaism won't even identify themselves with mainstrain Judaism.
