Answer 1
In order to make a generalization like that with any accuracy, you would need to have met at least half of the Jewish people. So from your question, we can plainly understand that you have obviously interviewed and gotten to know something about at least 7.9 million Jews, in something like 60 different countries. May we say how honestly awed and impressed we are. You definitely da man. We hunger to know some of the other things you have learned concerning Jews.
Answer 2
As concerns "strictness" the word has numerous different meanings and as the above opinion notes wittily, Jews are not a monolith. Jews in aggregate are no more strict when it comes to on-the-job discipline and classroom etiquette. They were nowhere near as strict in the gubernatorial sense as numerous Christian, Islamic, Zoroastrian, and several other religions have been when in power (when accounting for the century in question). As for religious observance, the majority of Jews worldwide are actually minimally religious. The Orthodox communities (including Modern Orthodox, Hasidim, Haredim, and other similar sects) combined account for less than one quarter of the aggregate Jewish population.
Answer 3Religious Jews are strict with their observance of Torah-laws because the Torah declares that it is the word of God (Exodus 24:12) and is seen as the definition of Jewish identity and purpose.

May an Orthodox Jewish daughter attend her brother's first Holy Communion in a Catholic church?
Orthodox Judaism has strict customs against going into a Christian Church because of the worship of Jesus, which contravenes the Jewish tenet that only God should be worshiped. However, there are some opinions that preserving the family should trump these customs and so it would be permissible to attend. It should be noted that if the Orthodox Jewish woman chooses to go to church, she should make it clear that she does not agree with Christian theological claims by being silent during prayer and openly declining or ignoring Christian claims spoken to her.

Do Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues?
Orthodox Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues. Non-Orthodox Jewish men would be likely to go to non-Orthodox places of worship. In Israel, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, there are prevalent numbers of non-Orthodox or Liberal synagogues. As a result, people in those places who are themselves Liberal can often find a Liberal synagogue in which to worship. Outside of those four countries, it is very rare to find a Liberal synagogue, so Jews of all religiousities (both Liberal and Orthodox) go to Orthodox synagogues for prayer, but will not perform all of the Orthodox Mitzvot when not in synagogue.
Are Jewish parents okay if their kid dates an atheist?
Depends on if they are orthodox Jews or not. If they're orthodox (i.e. strict jews) then no. It depends largely on the family.Answer:"Jewish" can be either a cultural (ethnic) or religious identification (or both).Without the religious part the parents might be atheists themselves. As for the religious Jewish connotation there is no reason to suspect that a child marrying an atheist would be any more of concern than a child marrying a Christian, Muslim or other religion.In many cases a parents concern is fo the quality of the child's partner not their religion, race, political persuasion or education.Jewish Answer:The issue of atheism is relatively minor to Judaism. There are Jews who are religiously observant in terms of keeping kosher, etc while not believing in the existence of HaShem (The Creator). The majority of Jewish parents would have no issue with their children marrying an atheist Jew so long as the individual is willing live at the same observance level as their spouse. Additionally, if the child were to marry a non-Jew, the majority of Jewish parents would prefer the potential wife or husband be an atheist than actively practicing another religion so long as the spouse was willing to go along with the religious observance of their child. This is related to the fact that Judaism is a religion of action, not of blind faith.
