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?
Christians seem to have a hard time accepting that Judaism and socially liberal positions are not incongruent.
