Generally, I use it very similar to “christian” or “caucasian” depending on context. It’s the exact same in my mind to say “secular Jew therapist” and “secular Jewish therapist”. In the context of that quote, I don’t think I really loaded it up with anti-Semitism with that slight alteration.

Where I grew up my siblings and I were sometimes called this before being beaten up. I’ve also heard it used to mean haggling over a price. So, just my personal opinion and experience. Not much of a debate on my end.
