It wasn't religion that made the Jews so smart, it was the fact they discovered and embraced the power of education long before almost any other society.

They have been Europe's intellectuals for around three thousand years. They educated their people who became the west's entrepreneurs, bankers and accountants when the rest of the people were planting potatoes.

And still today the worlds Jews are leaders in education. Their culture as you well know, demands educational excellence from their tribe.

Their religion actually holds them back, as seen by the five times Netanyahu has been elected by the religious right wing in Israel!

There are as many liberal Jews, as religious right wing Jews. And that dichotomy causes tensions in their tribe.
