Sarah Silverman Atheist or Jew?

Just to make sure for those of us that like to snope things is Sarah Silverman an Atheist or a Jew.  In an Interview this was said:

 

Q: Are you an observant Jew? A: Nope. I have no religion. I'm only Jewish ethnically. Culturally.

Both

She is atheist Jew. There is a guy on her called the atheist jew or something like that. They are not mutually exclusive terms if you take Jewish to mean culturally/ethnically Jewish. I have talked to a few people like this, so its not uncommon.
