I lived for awhile on a kibbutz where people lit candles and said blessings of thanks over wine and bread (sort of equivalent to "grace" for Christians) on Friday nights, but I assure you that the people on this kibbutz were thoroughly secular. I don't know where the numbers in that wiki article come from and I don't really care. Being Jewish is complicated. Or maybe better -- there are many many different ways of being/feeling Jewish and surveys can't capture what it means to individuals. Most of the people there are descended from Europeans (Western and Eastern Europe) or Russians and that remains the dominant culture.
