    His father was German... and he spoke about the Holy spirit.

    Mencken was not Jewish.He was often mistaken as being Jewish. If his mother was Jewish, he would be Jewish according to Jewish law. Furthermore, his father had a "Sr." at  the end of his name, uncommon in Judaism (not that it really matters, again,because the mother determines the child's religion)
