My oldest brother converted to Judaism in his later years, but felt he had to keep it a secret so as not to enrage the Protestant church members of the flock he had long been a member of. He grew to love the rabbi who was his mentor. His reasons for his conversion I am sure were private and he never talked about it much. I didn’t press him on it but I understood where he was coming from and felt he was a free man and had every right to make his own choices. 

Like me he questioned the validity of Western religious dogma.

For what its worth, I too identify with the Jewish people more than I do the typical White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. And that is where I’ll stay, like a tree planted by the waters, I shall not be moved, with one exception. I would rather return to the religious beliefs and customs of my Ancestors, but that is almost impossible. All of that was completely and utterly destroyed by early Protestant missionaries who forced complete assimilation without our consent.
