Because it seems that a little more or less of half of people who say they are Jews don't ascribe to their particular position.

Do you have any proof of that? Any poll of members of a major/large branch of Judaism in which even a clear majority says they are pro-life or opposed to homosexuality?

I believe if you look for some Dennis Prager threads or Michael Medved or Dr. Laura threads you will find much back up for my statement.

Futhermore,I have read that at least one quarter of those who are Jewish are secular and do not identify with the religious Jews and hold positions on morals and values contrary to Orthodox Jews at the very least. I believe the percentage of secular Jews in Israel may even be greater than in the U.S.

It is extremely difficult to pin down numbers because there are so many variables.

I have pinged Alouette who is one of the experts on all things Jewish in Free Republic.She is very informed and gracious,and has never failed to respond to my specific requests for info. Alouette,can you help?
