We need better comics
Ultimate Peter is not Jewish. In USM 106 (the opening of the Ultimate Knights story/trade paperback), Peter uses a Yiddish expression, while specifically saying that he is using it despite not being Jewish.
(To be honest, nothing about Spider-Man in general ever seemed Jewish to me, so I don't exactly get why it was ever a question. But then, in the movies, his aunt had a distinctly Christian background, so I guess I kind of always assumed he leaned that way.)
Peter's protestant.

This is something I've always wondered about, because Peter SEEMS very Jewish to me, but I don't think he is.
Fairly sure Spider-Man follows no religion which is a good thing as it sells that anyone can be Spider-Man. That and developed countries are rapidly moving away from religion as education increases and cities are developed to the modern age.
Thinking about it some more, Pauker is a Jewish surname that could easily have been changed to Parker in an earlier generation.

According to Greg Weisman, he is jewish in everything, except for not being officially one.
To be honest, Peter has some sort of spirituality, but is sort of ambigous about the religion, wich is find by me personally. I think that big names shouldn't have an specific religion and left that part open to interpretation, like showing that he indeed believes, but don't said that he is chatolic, protestant, jewish or whatever.
In all probability, Spidey isn't Jewish.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
A valid position, and one I share.
The OP question reminds me of a thread about a hypothetical change of MJ's race (I guess to better line her up with her "counterpart" in Homecoming). As I wrote at that time: assuming the key personality traits of a character remain the same I could not care less what ethnicity she or he is.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
Based on what we have seen in the comics probably not. If a writer wanted to go with that angle I wouldn't care either way. It would seem a bit weird to suddenly make a big deal of it either way at this point.

X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."
