French-Jewish father and a Polish mother.

If it is of sufficient importance to state the religion of one parent, then it is of equal importance to state the religion of the other.

Further, why not state if he was circumcised, bar-mitzvahed and educated in Hebrew, Catholic or public school system?

Perhaps he was raised and educated as an agnostic. If important to name religion of either parent, then state religion of subject.

This 'nationality-religion' phrasing should be eliminated. Why not describe data as: Epstein's  Father was French, his mother Polish. The Father was a Jew, the Mother was Wiccan. Epstein chose to be Buddhist.

In addition, if you state religion, why not state political preference. Would you say French-Jewish-Royalist, or Polish-Wiccan-Separatist? How about: Epstein was Polish-Agnostic-Democrat, but later became a French-Jain-Gaullist.

Just happen to have ten minutes to vent against the frequent use of 'nationality-religion'
