It has been estimated that up to 70 per cent of Jews in Israel are "secular Jews", which is generally understood mean that they do not practice Judaism. In addition, outside of the United States, most Jews are either secular or devoutly Orthodox with little middle-ground afforded. Similar to Israel, a large percentage of Jews outside of the United States and Israel (who total close to 2 million) are secular as well. The tricky thing is figuring out where to draw the line in the United States as Secular Judaism does not do well there and while some people would call Reform Judaism as non-practicing, others would which makes calculations more difficult.

The best guess is that it is likely that around 6 million of the 13 million Jews in the world are non-practicing Jews.

Answer:Fully secular Jews in Israel are actually a small minority, since many polls have shown that the great majority of Israeli Jews (some 80-90%) practice such Torah-observances as the Passover Seder, Hanukkah, fasting and praying on Yom Kippur, having a Rabbi perform weddings, and several more.
