Is it possible for a Jewish person to become an atheist?
Yes; Jews are people just like anyone else. People can make decisions to become atheists. The Torah teaches us to keep its laws (see for example Deuteronomy ch.4 and ch.5), but tells us that God has given us free-will (Deuteronomy 30:15-20) if we decide to disobey. It goes back to the idea that Jews are ethno-religious as opposed to religious (like Christians or Muslims). Therefore, in the sense that Judaism is a cultural inheritance, a person can disdain the religion (becoming atheist) and still continue to be ethnically Jewish. Similarly a non-ethnic person can convert to become a Jew (in the religious sense).
Which calender was used to keep track of religious days?
The religious calendar that is commonly used to keep track of religious days varies depending on the specific religion. For example, the Jewish calendar is used to determine religious days in Judaism, while the Islamic calendar is used in Islam. These calendars are based on lunar cycles and differ from the Gregorian calendar used in everyday life.

Can a non-Jew become Jewish by nationality other than just religiously?
Answer 1I like to look at it this way. An Italian can move to Germany go through a process and officially become German. Germans who moved to America are still German.And the same goes for Jews, if you descended from a Jew, you are a Jew. If you convert to Judaism, you are a Jew. Look at the Jewish nationality like a country with the borders being Judaism, rather than physical borders. When you convert you become a "citizen" of this culture. Yes, there is still a "Jewish ethnicity" and a non-Jew can never ethnically become a Jew. Just like an Italian could never ethnically become German. But a non-Jew can become Jewish by nationality.Answer 2If you mean without converting, some non-religious Jews might answer yes; you could move to Israel, or live among Jews or simply keep Jewish customs and practices. The religious answer is that you need to convert with a valid conversion, which includes (among other things) the intent to live as a Jew.Answer 3No. A person who is born a non-Jew cannot become exclusively a "Jew by nationality." That person needs to become a Jew in the religious sense in order to embrace the nationhood-aspect of Judaism.Contrary to the analysis provided in Answer 1, while Israel is the Jewish State, Israeli citizens are Israelis, not necessarily Jews. Conversion to Judaism is a religious process, not a citizenship-like process (which exists in Israel for Israeli citizenship).
