Toi: I don’t think the country wants to get rid of Frumkeit. They have many opposing goals to deal with. Their main goal is to allow every citizen to have whatever degree of freedom and security that they want-religious or otherwise. They have to deal with fierce anti-religious and anti-government factions. Can you imagine any other country allowing such a large group of people to peacefully exist who declare that one of their hopes is that the country will no longer exist? Anywhere else on Earth that would be called sedition.
Also, in the army the make you keep Shabbos so long as your duty does not involve Chillul Shabbos. Plenty of people told me stories about punishments non-frum guys got for being caught smoking on Shabbos.
