#1 Yeah. That worked out great for Spain and Portugal.

#2 When you worship Socialist Progressivism as your god, you're usually violating about three of the ten commandments. Sort of disqualifies one as part of the traditional Judeo-Christian sects in the first place.

#3 As Israel becomes steadily more observant Jewish, it kinda follows, don't it? (They gotta come from somewhere.)

#5 The growth of the American Jewish population is among the more observant, just as in the American Christian population, ie they are the ones attracting more followers from the older, more liberal congregations, and they are the ones having more than replacement numbers of children. In the meantime, even the Reform (ultra-liberal) branch of American Judaism has become shockingly more traditional in teaching and practice than it was when we joined our current congregation in 1997. I like it, but many of the old folks are quite disturbed.

And yes, what g(r)omgoru said. Judaism has consistently lost between 25% and 50% of its children to assimilation/conversion since the Roman empire went Christian... and yet we are still here.
