I really don't see why you guys have such hang-ups about mentioning his being Jewish or not. Fact is, he was born Jewish, was raised in that faith as his father was a Rabbi. Then he converted to Christianity - exactly a week before he married a Christian woman. Might that not have been the decisive motive for his conversion? I would think it highly likely. Facts are facts, mention them as they are, not as you would wish them to be. Period. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.200.30 ( talk) 18:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

i suggest taking the phrase "jewish" out of the article as Reuter was not very religious, as far as i know. It should at least be moved further down as a side note and not as an atribute of nationality!
You are probably not aware that Judaism is the religion, and being born to a Jewish family makes you Jewish because its an ethnicity, nor matter how much the religion is part of your life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.5.4.40 ( talk) 20:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
I have got an idea, if you say he converted after immigrating to the UK, than it means that as a German he was Jewish, but as a Brit he wasn't, meaning i think that if you can source it(that he converted to christianity) than you should list him out of "British Jews" , but he should remain in "German Jews".By the way, the same story was more or less with Karl Marx, meaning being born German-Jewish, but then living in the UK as a christian convert.

Well by their ethnicity they might have both been Jewish, but nevermind about that. It seems that Marx's article is semi protected, so their is nothing we can do about it, but in my opinion some of the categories you have mentioned he should be listed in them and in some not. Anyway back to Paul Reuter, the references certianly do suggest that at first he was Jewish by both ethnicity and religion and in the UK he converted, so what categories are relevant? in my opinion at least the "German-Jews" one,the German ones(about your comments above, we call "German" to all people from the german countries in all times, even before Otto von Bismarck and the first reich in 1871 ), and of course the British ones. "British-Jews"? if on this one you say we should remove it, i might agree with you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.230.172.154 ( talk) 15:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Well his upbringing(religous one) must have had something on his personal life, mybe not so much about his work, but that is probably something not even worth mentioning in the article. The truth is that i don't think religion has played that much of a role in his life, so i don't think he answers the propper definition of a Jew(by religion of course) or a Christian, but i promise to keep surfing for all kind of different sources and see where it lead's us(you may also try to find some). Now its not that i'm so concerned about marx, but just trying to give you a typicall example for the matter. User:80.230.172.154 —Preceding comment was added at 17:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Ethnicity of one being Jewish may not be important to ones character, but, it is apparent that its important to people of interest. Kennedy's are Catholic, and that had a bearing on the Presidential elections in 1960. Yes, you can take away most clues of ones life, but, it always comes back to ones religion, ethnicity, and political nature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.19.230.218 ( talk) 22:52, 20 July 2009
