The Jews have always been a very religious group, whether it's a theist-based religion or a political or social religious "ism" that they adhere to.
The reasons they are largely secular and democrat is because they fear right-wingers, Christianity, and nationalism from their historical experience with it and the anti-semitism often involved.
Most American Jews are not all that observant.
Proof. Check the parking lots near reform and conservative synagogues on the Sabbath.

you missed the point... taken alone, the part about being very religious is false, but reading the entire sentence you can see that I was equating their religiosity in religious life their secular preoccupations in more recent history with various political isms, to today with saving the world from climate change, right-wing fascism, intolerance, sexism, racism, or any other social justice movements.
