   There is only one answer.  Well, two.  You are obviously are not from NYC is   
   one.  Two -- Jews do NOT eat mayonnaise or Wonder bread.  Ever.   EVER.  And   
   he is trying to escape his Judaism and find a religion that will let him   
   escape his Judaism and give    
   him faith in an after life.  It's a joke, about the eating habits of Jews and   
   goys and also about how you can't escape the religion you are born with.  You   
   can eat mayo and Wonder Bread, but it won't help.  Buy a crucifix.  Whatever.    
   He is still human,    
   still mortal, still a JEWS, no matter what he believes or acts like.
