1- Religious realize that Democrats are one big fat evil lie. In the first place when they are the ones who wanted the slave trade reestablished, fought a civil war to keep slavery, established KKK,Jim Crow and host of other prejudicial laws, to suddenly brand themselves as liberals is just way beyond the pale. The cronyism, socialism, hatred of Israel and simply idiotic policies further make them an evil entity.
2- Irreligious or better said, not yet religious Jews, want to be as American as possible. Although conservatives constantly stress that they are following the true American ideals, they have not yet succeeded in getting that across to the younger generation. You are more hip, cool and Hollywood-like if you are Democrat. The Zeitgeist rules by irreligious, hence the Democratic party rules as well.
