AnswerI am not sure what he practices now but he is Jewish from origin and went to school with Art Garfunkel who is also Jewish by origin

**************************************************************

Its pretty clear that he is non - religious (agnostic or atheist) and definitely does not follow any organised religion now...

Take a look at his lyrics from 'How can you live in the Northeast' from his last album Surprise (2006) for example :-

How can you be a Christian?

How can you be a Jew?

How can you be a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu?

How can you?

Weak as the winter sun, we enter life on earth.

Names and religion come just after date of birth.

Then everybody gets a tongue to speak, and everyone hears an inner voice.

A day at the end of the week to wonder and rejoice.

If the answer is infinite light, why do we sleep in the dark?

In another song, appropriately titled 'I don't believe' from the same album comes the lines:-

I don't believe we were born to be sheep in a flock

To pantomime prayers with the hands of a clock

And another song 'Wartime Prayers' has the line:-

People hungry for the voice of God

Hear lunatics and liars

Paul Simon lyrics are sometimes obscure, but I think all these lyrics add up to as unequivocal statement as he can get regarding his disbelief.
