A new Gallup Daily tracking found that Mormons are by far the most religious of any group in this analysis, while Jews are the least religious group measured.
Religious preference in the United States, under “Jewish” was 1.7 in January-November 2012, a slight rise since the same time last year when it was 1.6.
The 2012 findings on the breakdown of religious identification in the American population are based on more than 326,000 Gallup Daily tracking interviews conducted between Jan. 2 and Nov. 30.
Asked “is religion important in your daily life,” 58% of those that identified as Jews answered no, far behind the same percentage of Mormons, Protestants, Muslims and Catholics. 41% of the Jewish responders said yes.
The same was with the question of regular attendance of religious services. Under “Jewish,” 65% answered “seldom” or “never” and 34% said “monthly” or more often.
Results, emphasizing the importance of the Shlichus network the Rebbe has founded, are based on telephone interviews with a random sample of 326,271 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
but when it comes to religion there are more things that you can not do if you are a jew then any other religion
which is why people will (unfortunately) say that they are Jewish and atheist, without seeing any stirah whatsoever, which would never happen in any other faith community.
Maybe this is partly because being Jewish is so much more than a religion or set of beliefs. If a Mormon stops practicing, he’s probably not even going to answer that he’s a Mormon, while l’havdil, a Jew will usually B”H still identify as a Jew on some level.
if this is so then
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GET SHLICHUS??????????????
It’s not just Jews, but it seems that people are less involved in all religions.
