== Israel explicitly a religiously Jewish state? == |
|||
The assertion that Israeli is religiously a Jewish state, in addition to ethnically, is incorrect. Israel has no official religion. Rather, it defines itself as the national home of the Jewish people. Israel's criteria for Jewish identity for the purposes of immigration differs from Jewish law and has nothing to do with religious beliefs. See link below. |

{{closed rfc top|1=There is a narrow margin for converting the pie chart to the "Pew" version listed below. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 17:09, 21 May 2020 (UTC)}} |
|||
Proposal to remove the pie chart in the opening section of the article because it is confusing and does not properly reflect beliefs of secular and/or Atheist Jewish Israelis. (One can oppose by voting Keep): 11:01, 16 February 2020 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Remove''' [[User:IZAK|IZAK]] ([[User talk:IZAK|talk]]) 20:51, 10 February 2020 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Keep''' as I argued above. It makes sense to set the stage by showing how many Jews, Arabs and others live in Israel, before going into detail about each of those groups. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 21:33, 10 February 2020 (UTC) |

::Valid point, however "how many Jews live in Israel" does not in any way indicate if they are religious or not. And as we know about half of Israeli Jews are ''Chiloni'' (secular) with a good chunk being ''Sonei Das'' (haters of religion), a left-over from the days of religion-hating Bolshevism. The pie should therefore clarify numbers of '''Jews''' and not refer to their "religion" (since many don't have any really) or the non-existent "Judaism" of so many. [[User:IZAK|IZAK]] ([[User talk:IZAK|talk]]) 02:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC) |
|||
:::It doesn't matter if a person is religious or not. I mean, it may matter to {{u|IZAK}} or {{u|Debresser}}. But that would be [[WP:OR|original research]]. The question is whether a person has renounced their identity as a Jew. If a Jewish person has not said "I am not a Jew" then they are religious, albeit to a limited extent. We don't engage in original research at Wikipedia. At Wikipedia we don't deem Jews who light candles, attend synagogue, and [[Jewish prayer|daven]]—as being religious. And Jews who eat pork and drive on Shabbos—as being not religious. You are all involved in "drawing lines". {{u|Feminist}} writes {{tq|"As for those in between, we should either place them in a separate slice, combine them with Jewish atheists, combine them with religious Jews, or draw a line somewhere within the spectrum dividing who we consider to be religious or not."}} No, we should do nothing of the sort. Reliable sources either assert something or do not assert something. Do we have reliable sources telling us a percentage of Jews considered religious and a percentage of Jews considered nonreligious? Stating those percentages, with attribution to the specific source, may be acceptable. But this isn't "The Jewish Religion 101" as presented to you by a few Wikipedia editors. It would be impractical to get any meaningful information breaking down any Jewish population into those that are religious, those that are not religious, and those that are semi-religious, but I'm sure some reliable sources would attempt to do just that. With attribution we can present the findings of such sources. Such "information" is highly subjective and subject to being skewed by editorializing inherent in a given source's political leanings. Therefore we should treat such "information" skeptically and only with [[WP:ATT|attribution]]. [[User:Bus stop|Bus stop]] ([[User talk:Bus stop|talk]]) 03:42, 11 February 2020 (UTC) |

::::{{ping|Bus stop}} It is not OR to state that ''secular (chiloni) Israelis are secular (chiloni)''. The numbers on the pie are too sweeping and you do not wait for someone to say "I am not a Jew" to deem them to be secular. If anything, saying "I am not a Jew" borders on [[Apostasy in Judaism]]. [[User:IZAK|IZAK]] ([[User talk:IZAK|talk]]) 19:25, 11 February 2020 (UTC) |
|||
:::::{{u|IZAK}}—many Jews are for instance not Shomer Shabbos but go to synagogue on Yom Kippur. Many Jews serve food that is not kosher at Bar Mitzvah celebrations. Many Jews are not particularly religious but have annual Passover meals including matzoh and [[Manischewitz]]. No source can be realistically expected to evaluate all factors to determine if these people are "religious" or not. I have my opinions and every other individual has their opinions about such things. I am considering such opinions tantamount to original research if we try to build such opinions into the article. As for the pie chart, it was not my primary concern in my participation in the [[Talk:Religion in Israel#Should nonreligious Israelis be marked as religious?|"Should nonreligious Israelis be marked as religious"]] section of this page. I am opposed to the subtle distinctions that would be called for in order to distinguish between religious and nonreligious Israelis—or any other population of Jews for that matter. But the pie chart I don't find particularly problematic. It merely estimates percentages of Jews, Arabs, and "other". I don't feel strongly one way or the other about the pie chart currently in the article, but ultimately I don't find it problematic.

::::::{{ping|Bus stop}} You are only partially right, but you cannot deny that a vast group of Israelis vehemently oppose being labelled as "religious/dati/charedi/mesorati" in any way shape size or form. Israel's Jews are a large enough group in our times to break them down into component elements of religiosity or anti-religiosity or non-religiosity. Don't be nervous, nothing "bad" will come out of being objective. It is a dream and fallacy to call most of Israel's Jews "religious" when in fact anywhere from 250,000 to 1,000,000 of so-called called Israeli Jews are non-Halachic Jews mostly from the former Soviet Union and to call them "religious" is a joke and an insult to intelligence. [[User:IZAK|IZAK]] ([[User talk:IZAK|talk]]) 23:05, 11 February 2020 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::{{u|IZAK}}—the article already says [[Religion in Israel#Secular-traditional spectrum|"In 2007, a poll by the Israeli Democracy Institute found that 27% of Israeli Jews say that they keep the Sabbath, while 53% said they do not keep it at all"]]. I think that should be sufficient. [[User:Bus stop|Bus stop]] ([[User talk:Bus stop|talk]]) 01:03, 12 February 2020 (UTC) |

*<s>'''Remove'''</s>; I think having this singular pie chart on top of this article would inevitably cause readers to make comparisons with other "Religion in [foo]" articles without appreciating the nuances of the term "religion" in its Israeli context.

|||
*'''Remove''' I think that Bus stop has already made an excellent argument about the pitfalls of OR in this specific situation. We have information about various different measurements of religious identity in the context of Israel, and this can be expressed in prose in the article. We do not, at least at this time, appear to have a reliable-source-approved way of condensing all of this information into a pie chart that we can place in infobox position. <sub>signed, </sub>[[User:Rosguill|'''''Rosguill''''']] <sup>[[User talk:Rosguill|''talk'']]</sup> 05:31, 11 February 2020 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Keep'''. I think the chart should be kept. It gives a rough approximation of identities by proportion. It is produced by the "Israel Central Bureau of Statistics" which sounds fairly official to me, but in all honesty I don't know what it is about. The pie chart is not involved in the breaking down of identities by level of religiosity. In this respect it is non-problematic.

It can be done at this, the [[Religion in Israel]] article, but only in the proper section, the [[Religion in Israel#Judaism|Judaism]] section, and only while properly enumerating the religious groups pertaining to Judaism according to reliable sources—Hiloni, Masorti, Dati, and Haredi.

*'''Support''' with the caveat that the chart should say (2014–2015) instead of (2016) because the source says the results were conducted during that period. Thanks for taking the time to locate this. It resolves my concern with considering all ethnic Jews as religious. I'm not seeing much concern with not further subdividing Muslims and Christians (such as by making Sunni/Shia or Protestant/Catholic distinctions). Firstly that would be [[WP:SYNTH]]; secondly neither Christians nor Muslims can be considered ethnic groups.

Jews can only be Jews. Jews cannot be Christian and Jews cannot be Muslim. The religion of the [[Jews]] is Judaism. It is practiced to varying degrees among Jews.

There is nothing wrong with the source. But it has to be used properly. You have not followed [https://www.pewforum.org/2016/03/08/israels-religiously-divided-society/ the source]. The source breaks down Jews into 4 segments of the "pie"—Hiloni, Masorti, Dati, and Haredi. You have not done that. And you have no sources for comparable information pertaining to Muslims and Christians and Druze. The chart that you are suggesting makes no sense for placement near the top of this article. This article is not titled "Spirituality of Jews in Israel" or some such name. It is "Religion in Israel".

:{{ping|Rosguill}}, {{ping|Finnusertop}}. Though the discussion is closed, I noticed the rather weird linking of "[[Masortim|Masorti]]" to [[Conservative Judaism]], and was drawn here, though I do mostly refrain from editing on this wikipedia. Several comments are necessary: ''[[Hiloni]]m'' are a rather strange group by Western standards. See [[Irreligion in Israel]]. They include everyone who isn't thoroughly observant, and the demographic borderline with the "Masortim" is very porous. A considerable number, some 25%, are fanatically religiouss. Roughly 20% (9% of all Jewish Israelis) are indeed atheists, out of 40% who don't believe in God. There are also Hilonim who identify specifically with Reform and Conservative Judaism. A large group (estimated at 10% of all Jews in Charles Liebman, ''Judaism and Jewishness in the Jewish State'', p. 16; that is, about a quarter of the Hilonim) wholly eschews Jewish identity, and regards itself as Israeli and not Jewish. Anyway, to quote Yaacov Yadgar (''Israel's Jewish Identity Crisis: State and Politics in the Middle East'', p. 71), "Hiloni" is a ''problematic, both linguistically and practically, translation of "secular".'' Other scholars made the same point. Likewise, the comments above claiming they are "nationally" but not "religiously" Jewish, are quite ill-founded. Religion is strongly embedded in Israeli national identity, as Yadgar's book heavily dwells upon. Anyway, I'd recommend rendering ''Hiloni'' as such, and not as "secular"; and also, either all the four different Jewish sub-groups should be represented on the pie chart, as in the PEW chart, or have only one for all togehter. Separating the Hilonim from the rest is problematic. [[User:AddMore-III|AddMore-III]] ([[User talk:AddMore-III|talk]]) 21:44, 6 August 2020 (UTC) |

It should say "Hiloni" or "Hiloni (Secular Jews)". Many pointed this out in the discussion, but it was closed with the option that says "Secular Jews".

As someone who lives in Israel, the article present misinformation stating 1% is non-religious. I think, after watching other talks, that the authors of the article are confused between Jewish as ethnicity and Jewish as a religion. If someone says he is a jew that does not necessarily mean he is religious for the same reason someone says he is a Chinese does not necessarily mean he is religious. The word jew is ambiguous, I was in a school where being non-religious was the default and everyone would say they are Jewish because of their parent's ethnicity, not their beliefs. |
|||
{{edit extended-protected|Religion in Israel|answered=no}} |

I believe it is supposed to be ~20% non-religious and ~9% atheists live in Israel (this from some statistics I saw but you can research it further). I can confirm there is a lot of non-religious people in Israel from my experience and is probably higher than 20% now, but 1% is just impossible and presenting misinformation. |

The Gospel
[edit]The article mentions that there has been friction between Christian groups and the government. Is this refering to the ban on preaching the Gospel, since this is a rumour that is widespread. Is this true?
I belive this to be true, but the only webpages I could find were pages of the "we fight against Jewish supremacism" sort. Although these pages are sometimes correct, I think most Wikipedians discount them as beeing anti-semitic. Personally I find it difficult to find correct information about Jews and Israel.
