Religion in Israel

This is something I have been genuinely curious about. I have often assumed that being a Jewish country, you would assume that people in Israel are automatically going to be much more religious observant than their American or their international diaspora counterparts.

This is something that has been highlighted a bit by Ben Shapiro. He talks about how American Jews are the least religious of many other religious groups in America. This is also a similar assumption to how Europeans are considered to be more religious than Americans and Latin Americans since those countries were actually founded on the principle of rebelling against religious supremacy and hegemony and Europe literally exported Christianity all over the world. Same with Muslim countries. It is generally understood that people in Muslim countries are more religious than Muslims living in the U.S. These are things that have been studied in various surveys and research polls. Israel being a Jewish state is also directly compared to how Iran and Afghanistan and the Gulf states are Islamic states where the society is expected to be religious and adhere to the religious norms usually through brute force and extreme enforcement.

With that said, is it accurate to state that Jews in Israel are generally more religious than Jews in America and elsewhere? Do you think this can be compared to how people who live in the diaspora are usually less religious than their counterparts in their native countries like immigrants from the rest of the Middle East and South Asia? What do you guys think? If anyone has spent time around American Jews and Jews from Israel, feel free to chime in!
