What percentage of Jews in israel are athiest?

Answer 1

Judaism is an ethnic group as well as a religion, so there are Jewish atheists, but statistics are not measured on this category. Some Jewish Atheists prefer to be called Humanistic Jews, and there are even synagogues dedicated to humanistic Judaism.

Judaism isn't just about religion. It's about culture, family and traditions. You are considered Jewish if you were born of a Jewish mother.

Reform Judaism includes more in the fold. I know many atheists who participate in Jewish holidays and traditions because it is important to them. You can do that, and not believe in God.

Israeli answer:

Only 40% of Israelis define themselves as secular; and even among those, many believe in God.

Answer 3

It's difficult to know- a Gallup poll conducted in 2015 showed that surprisingly, 65% of those questioned said that they had no religion or are atheists, whereas a more recent survey suggested that the picture was radically different, with the number of atheists standing at less than 4%. I suppose it depends upon who the pollsters questioned, but if I had to give my own opinion, I would say that far more Israelis are believers than non-believers. Such Atheism as does exist may have been exacerbated by the on-going conflict between Israel and the Arab world, which may have driven many moderate, peace-loving Israelis to desperation with religion and caused them to renounce belief in despair, whereas if inter-faith relations were better and there was no fundamentalism on both sides, the number of believers would be higher.

• Answer 2

According to polls (plural), seventy percent of Israelis believe that the Torah is from God, eighty percent believe in God, and roughly 20% are atheists. Even the atheists in Israel generally keep a number of Torah-commands, such as circumcising male infants, having a Passover Seder, and not driving on Yom Kippur. Reform Judaism has spread very little in Israel.
