Not a great example, the whole Russian Orthodox thing is

Let's calm down here. I was responding to a post saying that Jews were segregated in European society - if half of them were marrying non-Jews, sounds like my questions as to why that would be the case are unimportant if the original premise that Jews are segregated is false.

That seems like a weird way to report it. "Non religious Jews" are just different white guys walking down the street. I don't draw conclusions on Catholicism based on an atheist guy who's great grandparents immigrated from Ireland.
