Aaq, the studies i quoted show that MO is an abysmal failure at producing observant Jews.
I failed to mention, which should come as no shock, that according to the Nishma study, only 51% of MO jews fully believe that all of the oral torah is true, 64% believe that Hashem gave the written Torah to the Jews at har Sinai, 51% believe that Hashem guides their lives, and, quite depressingly, only 46% believe that Hashem loves them and that everything that happens is for the best.
They have an easier time…sort of, in believing in Hashem creating the world, with 74% fully believing this. It’s no coincidence that the only belief system here which doesn’t directly obligate one in mitzvos or have Hashem in their lives, is this, and it’s the one that is most popular.
But it means that statistically, a majority of MO people are not full believers. It’s really not that different from conservative, is it?
