There is a word for this thread, revolting!
Alot of people who go to MO schools are not religious and in fact many people who go to MO shuls like Young Israels and the like are not reglious either, but they are Pro-relgious. Meaning they like the religion but have limits.

As a proud member of the Young Israel-Beth El of Borough Park let me inform you that you know nothing about my congregation.
Further, and speaking only on my own behalf, if you feel this way, then please stay out of my shul! After all, how can you trust us to have a proper minyan? And maybe our sifrei Torah are considered pasul at least to the twisted perceptions of some people.
Oh, and my personal favorite, if we aren’t good enough Jews for you, then don’t drop in to hear our chazan and choir! I am offended by the idea my contributions are paying for a service you might enjoy. Then again, why should you? Our shul clearly doesn’t measure up to your standards of sinas chinam!
I see whatever frame of mind we were supposed to be in for Yom Kippur has sadly already left a number of people.
