i think a more apt title for this clip would be judaism and the jew who has left torah willfully, and/or because of temptations.
to define the jew who was raised without torah, as a sinner is simply untrue. he is a "tinok shenishba", he does not folllow torah because he has no knowledge of it, and may be very connected to g-d through interpersonal mitzvot, like charity, for example. this is the judaism that he was taught. there is no willfulness or rebellion against torah here.
if i were an non-torah observant jew, i think i would take umbrage with some of the "ung-dly" labels this interview
