Since there are only 14-16 million Jews (cultural or religious) in the world, and 50% of Jews are marrying inter-faith especially here in the US. Will Jewish culture and religion die out? Many Jews also convert to Christianity, and some do not follow their faith and culture.
True, some. But most Jews that marry non-Jews have a Jewish ceremony, and the non-Jews convert, and the kids are raised Jewish.

My family and many in our temple are such. Women are more willing to carry on the religion and jewish men who marry outside religion still want their kids to have a mitzvah. The non jewish wife ends up embracing jewish customs. The religion is not going anywhere. If is the size it is because we dont recruit door to door. You get drawn to us. We dont ask you to join.
Converting to jewdia is a personal choice that many find themselves drawn to. We dont push people to convert. They do if they want to so the size of jews will always be small.
